The movie first proves that many years have passed since Bruce Boxleitner starred in "Scarecrow and Mrs. King."
Plenty of problems here. A young couple on the prairie face financial difficulty as the wife takes a job in town sewing. I thought this would turn into a gossipy affair as the woman she works with is widowed with children and there is a widower in town with kids and she has her eye on him.
How wrong I was. Scarlet fever pays our young woman a visit and she is gone in no time. Her husband's parents come in and we have the emotional walloping of a grieving husband and daughter, a bank that is ready to foreclose the mortgage, a near fire and of course, wouldn't it be better if Missy, the daughter, lived with her grandparents?
Of course, as a Hallmark film, it ends nicely and there is even a scene from right out of the Lancaster-Hepburn 1956 smash "The Rainmaker." Everyone dancing around when the most welcomed rain hits.
Highly predictable, but engaging. Great values of a town coming together to help the unfortunate family.
