these are beautiful little period pieces continuing in the tradition of "little house on the prairie" or "the waltons" --shows which display intelligent, hard working, spiritual people who do not need anything other than their faith and their love for each other to get by in life. wonderfully moral without ever being fake or preachy, these books and this series of the "love's" chronicles will transport you to a different time when television was simpler and so was life.
the sunlit outdoor scenes of the country side, farm, small town, and and country life back in the pioneer days will remind you of your grandparents' childhoods. the sensitively cast and well-acted characters will remind you of teachers, friends, relatives, and other people of noteworthy guidance and inspiration in your life
the two littlest boys are total charmers and i couldn't stop thinking about my nephew listening to one of them speak. katherine heigl is wonderful in her pre-grey's anatomy sky rocket to fame and in her few though powerful scenes you can see the talent and ability that will catapult her to fame. dale midkiff as her unexpected second husband is moving and magnificent as a devout man of pure heart and love for his family and way of life. the young actor portraying willie/nate is outstanding as is the other who portrays his rival for january jones's characters affection, whom i personally thought did a wonderful job
do yourself a favour and rent or order these movies--you will be surprised at how easily you are touched and transfixed by such a simple, honest tale about the power of love, honour, faith, courage, hope, and family. i know i was.
highly recommended.
You should really start with the first of these wonderfully inspiring movies Love Comes Softly and follow with each of the rest in order to really get the full experience . I viewed all of them one Saturday and watched for almost 5 hours and wasn't the least bit bored . In fact I went to bed with the most uplifting spirit Iv'e had in a long time.
The second of the "Love Comes Softly" videos. These stories should be seen by every child in America. Michael Landon Jr has continued where his father has left off and I know he is in heaven looking down on his son with such great pride and love. If you can't afford to buy them all (six so far) then I urge you to watch them on The Hallmark Channel and pick your favorite and add it to your video collection. I bought these for my grandchildren which I hope to have someday so they won't miss out on these special stories. I just hope they continue the videos.
