Product Description

When Jed and Martha Richards agree to raise young, orphaned Daniel, Jed is delighted. But Martha, still grieving for her two little girls who died on the trek across the American Plains, finds herself swept away each day in a thousand wistful memories. As her golden-haired daughters dance through her aching heart, she can’t help comparing them to this awkward, dirty young boy who annoys her at every turn - and needs her so desperately. Jed and Danny both reach out to Martha, yet her anguish isolates her and threatens the marriage relationship. But spring sometimes comes unexpectedly, and for Martha it comes on a snowy Christmas Eve when Danny’s innocent heart is finally able to rescue hers.

Customer Reviews

Movie FOR the heart
This movie was utterly stunning. We had read the story for Christmas every year, and when we found out there was a movie for it, we were amazed. Sam Hennings did a tremendous job as the father, and the mother also-OF COURSE so did the little boy!!
I couldn't help from crying over and over because the movie was so touching and plays with your emotions greatly.
It starts out as when a mother and father, now parentless because of the death of their two daughters, are given a boy to take care of around the age of seven or eight. The father begins to love the boy, but how can the mother when her two beautiful daughters are dead? Always turning cold towards the boy, the mother doesn't know how to love him....but then again...hearts can be mended in Seasons of the Heart.

a good christian film
Martha Richards was in winter. Her heart was cold and unable to let go of the pain and resentment that filled it like a December blizzard. It had not always been so. When she and her husband Jed loaded their wagon, her heart was in the sunshine of summer. With their two beautiful daughters they headed west in hope of a better life. Her precious daughters died on the journey, and her heart was lost in a winter of pain. When orphaned Danny enters her life, she is unwilling to love him. Winter's grip on her heart makes her unable to love either him, her own husband, or her savior. Will the blush of spring ever touch her aching heart again? Find out by watching this beautiful touching story. While the movie is a low budget film with low production values, the story in it easily outweighs these factors.

Wonderful Story and Setting Less Than Perfect Acting
If you're looking for a good christian family movie, Seasons of the Heart is for you. It gives a beautiful yet painfully real picture of pioneer life. And it gives testament to God's healing power. This world brings death, but, God is the Life-Giver!
