About When Calls the Heart: This movie is about the captivating story of Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow), a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coalmining town where life is simple, but often fraught with challenges. Lori Loughlin plays Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads. Elizabeth charms most everyone in Coal Valley, except Constable Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing) who believes Thatcher’s wealthy father has doomed the lawman’s career by insisting he be assigned in town to protect the shipping magnate’s daughter. Living in a 19th century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own.
My thoughts: I have read just about every Janette Oke book that she has written and this movie is based on was one of my favorite books, okay well they are all my favorites. Elizabeth must reach deep inside to see what she is made of and surprises herself and the other woman with her tenacity. The scenery is beautiful and the clothing is lovely. This movie let me see and feel how challenging life could be in the 19th century. Watch the television series of When Call The Heart on the Hallmark Channel. You can purchase a copy at Amazon.
