This film is based on a novel by Janette One (Love Comes Softly series) and the setting is the 1920’s. Jealousy breaks out in Hope Valley when Gowen strikes oil on his property. This event splits the town into the haves and the have-nots. A young married couple sold their land and now they find out there was oil on the land. Now they are sorry and feel cheated. One man has a gate on his property that leads to other properties. Now he wants to collect a toll for using the gate from the owners that have oil on their land. Nathan has been offered a judgeship but he’s not sure if he wants to take it? Nathan is urging him to accept the offer.
The local schoolteacher Elizabeth Thornton has a new young girl Allie as a student in her class. She sees Allie gambling with other students and taking money from them? She also notices Allie keeps to herself and doesn’t play or want to work with the other students. She talks to Allie’s family to see what can be done to make changes in Allie’s behavior. 3* (This movie is OK)
This is definitely a Hallmark film!! Everyone is dressed in their Sunday best every day even though this is a rural area? There is full makeup and hair styling? There also has to be a LOT of drama in every scene. The jealous feeling about the oil strike, a new student fitting into a class, no time since having a baby, decisions about jobs and relationships. This is a drama after all!!
