Product Description
Based on the series of novels by Christian historical fiction writer Janette Oke, LOVE COMES SOFTLY was first aired on the Hallmark Channel. It tells the story of a young woman named Marty who travels with her new husband Aaron out west to make a home for themselves. Once there, however, Aaron unexpectedly dies, and a heartbroken Marty must now figure out how she will make it through the cruel frontier winter alone. For this reason she accepts the recently widowed Clarke's proposal, as a matter of survival. The two strike a deal, as he needs a mother for his two children while she requires a roof over her head, and the pair agree that she will return home in the springtime. But love blooms during the cold months as this uncommon little family discuss important questions about life, love, and God, and struggle to help each other grow in the unfriendly winter environment.
Outline
Writer/director Michael Landon Jr. continues in his famous father's footsteps by creating moral family entertainment set in the early days of the American prairie. Stubborn Marty Claridge (Katherine Heigl, Grey's Anatomy) travels west with her new husband--but after they find a beautiful patch of land, her husband dies in an accident before they've even started building. A man named Clark (Dale Midkiff, Air Bud: World Pup) makes a proposal: If Marty will enter into a platonic marriage with him, he'll pay for her passage back east in the spring. What Clark needs is a mother, however temporary, for his willful tomboy daughter Missie (Skye McCole Bartusiak, Beyond the Prairie, Part 2). Missie fights Marty's presence fiercely while Clark, though supportive, speaks few words, and Marty suspects she's made a terrible mistake--but time reveals otherwise. Love Comes Softly, based on the popular Christian novel by Janette Oke, is a romance, but Landon carefully avoids any bodice-ripping histrionics. Problems get solved perhaps a little too easily, but the movie is cleanly written, pleasantly understated, and respectful to its characters. For many viewers, Love Comes Softly will be a welcome change from overheated secular love stories. --Bret Fetzer

 | Good wholesome family film Mar 29, 2007 |
| It's not just a chick flick, there are cowboy's in it too. If you like "Little House on the Prairie" series, you'll like this too. | | |  | I have fallen in love with this series. I know you will too. Mar 24, 2007 |
| This is one of the best Hallmark series' that I've ever seen. Very clean and holesome. It's too bad that they couldn't have had Kathering Heigl in the rest of them. Or the girl that played daughter in part two play herself in part three and four. | | | | Love does indeed come softly Mar 23, 2007 |
| This is a very tender touching story. Both have lost their spouses tragically. Being pioneers they join forces to survive the winter. The struggles they conquer together does indeed form the beginnings of love which would understandably come softly. With both of them grieving for a lost love when they met, the bells ringing, fireworks, love at first sight love would not be likely. Their love does grow and deepen. A feel good movie. | | | | Love Comes Softly Mar 16, 2007 |
| Had seen this on TV a long time ago, It is much better without commercials. | | | | Can't wait for more! Mar 12, 2007 |
| I have always loved this series. I was SO excited when I saw previews on Hallmark Channel for a movie. I hope the entire series will be made into movies. | | | Write your own review about Love Comes Softly
