Best show I've Seen in a Long Time
I watched this film at the suggestions of a friend...Had to watch it again the very next night and have seen it several times since. It's so nice to watch a film where people are acutally nice to each other and there is no offensive language or elicit scenes.
Just recently learned of some friends in a very similar situation and recommended the film to them to help work throught the emotions they are having. Livvy, a young and educated woman finds herself pregnant shortly following the death of her mother. The father of her baby leaves the scene and Livvy's father insists that she will not have a child out of wedlock and so arranges her marriage to a lonely farmer in a very rural area of Colrado. Ray (the farmer) is shy and reserved, but was brought up with high moral values and treats Livvy like she is something special. The rest of the movie develops the story of how Ray and Livvy get acquainted and eventually fall in love, even though that was not Livvy's original intention.
I think the film has a powerful message about forgiveness and forbearance. I have purchased several copies and love to share it with friends. I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!

A Wonderful and Unique Love story
I saw this movie at a (small) girls camp. Of course, we all fell deeply in love with Ray by the end of the movie.

This is not only a beautiful and unique love story, different from your typical Pride and Prejudice type romance (don't get me wrong--Pride and Prejudice is one of my absolute favorite stories of all time, this story is just different in a very good way) but there are many other lessons, not just those of ture love and happily ever after. Some of the lessons in this film might be: acceptance of others, acceptance of self, forgiveness, and (of course) that you don't have to be similar to a person to love them--you can love anyone, if you want to.

I'm not sure I would like to show this movie to very young children, although there is no bad language or suggestive scenes, etc. There are some things parents wouldn't want very young children to see or that they wouldn't understand, such as (*SPOILERS*) the Japanese Internment is discussed in some detail, Livvy is sent to live with Ray so she doesn't have a child out of wedlock, etc. Don't get me wrong, it is a wonderful and wholesome film, just watch it with older kids who would understand these kind of things.

Not a Keri Russell fan, but still loved the movie!
This movie was great! The story was beautiful, and interesting--not cheesy or hokey, like the Love's Enduring Promise series. No cheesy lines at all, or fake loving gazes. The story is about an educated woman who finds herself pregnant and unwed during WWII. Her father arranges a marriage for her to someone she has never met, in a place she has never been. Skeet Ulrich--who I never really thought of as more than the cute guy from The Craft--was super moving as the husband who loves her from the very moment he lays eyes on her. He treats her like GOLD! Then there is a subplot involving friends from a Japanese internment camp--which really adds to the story. Check it out. Its a great movie!
