I've watched a few of these "Love" movies now, some are better than others, this is one of the good ones. It again stars Katherine Heigl & Dale Midkiff, married for several years, the romance here centers around their spirited daughter Missie who is all grown up and working as a school teacher. When Pa gets hurt chopping wood it falls on Missie to take over the farm duties, plow the fields and plant the crops. Pa's leg falls to infection and its all very touch and go for a while.

Out of nowhere a stranger turns up to help his name is Nate he takes over the farming, fails at bee wrangling and develops a kinship with Missie who at the same time is being wooed by a wealthy land surveyor and part owner of the railroad soon to come through town. Meanwhile Nate has a few secrets that come to light and some troubles that he must come to terms with before he can truly live his life

The reason I think I enjoy these so much is because I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie and these movies are of the same vane; family and faith and struggle and in the case of the movies a romance. I also enjoy shutting off the noise every once and a while and I say that as someone who's a fan of Sons of Anarchy.

I do appreciate that there are still movies out there meant for the entire family. Without any graphic violence, sex scenes or F-bombs. Wholesome. And probably why I find these "Love" series films so (strangely) addictive. Its nice to just turn all that "noise" off once and a while.

This movie can be enjoyed by the whole family. A wholesome drama with some humor infused to lighten the mood despite difficult moments. A nice touching story about a family struck by hard times when the father, Clark Davis injured himself and the family risked losing everything they have because there is no one to help with the farming. Until a handsome young stranger comes along and pitches in to help. As the story unfolds, it's more of the family helping this young man, teaching him things that the family values: love, faith, endurance, and forgiveness.

Highly recommended for the whole family!

This is a great Hallmark movie sequel. You should watch Love Comes Softly before seeing this sequel but it isn't necessary. The movie is a great love story. The only reason I didn't give it a ten is because it isn't that original. It is a basic love story of a girl having to choose between two guys; one who is cute, rich, and maybe a little shallow, and the other who is cute, poor, but very deep. Hmm sounds familiar but it is still very good. All the actors are great. I rented it because I love Katherine Heigl's character in Love Comes Softly. I wish she would have had a bigger part in this story but the main focus is her adopted daughter. Overall, the movie is a nice break from violence laced movies.
