"Love's Everlasting Courage" premieres on Hallmark

September 17th brought the premiere of "Love Begins", the first of two prequels in Janette Oke's "Love Comes Softly" series. That movie attracted 2 .9 million viewers. (See my review here)

This Saturday, October 1st, brings the second prequel, "Love's Everlasting Courage", as Clark’s beloved wife, Ellen, dies from scarlet fever, he and his daughter, Missy, must find a way to survive this hardship while also saving the barren land from drought. With love and support from family and friends, Clark and Missy endure.




Clark's parents are played by Cheryl Ladd & Bruce Boxleitner, and bring a nice addition to the story in arriving to say and help Clark & Missy recover from their loss. One thing that draws my ire is that they take away one of my favorite characters (and I don't mean Nancy McKeon or Jere Burns from the first prequel!)
