Plot

edit

A Greater Yes: The Story of Amy Newhouse is based on the true story of Texas teenager Amy Newhouse whose battle with cancer did not save her life, but sparked a revival in her community. Amy was a very popular girl at Pampa High School, but she was stricken with cancer. Amy ultimately learns that the "yes" from God is not what she expects, but became instead "a greater yes." Revival breaks out in the area as Amy's faith becomes an example to everyone.
