#1 in the the Love Comes Softly Series

Based on Janette Oke's best-selling novel, and directed by Michael Landon, Jr., LOVE COMES SOFTLY is inspired storytelling for the whole family. Marty and Aaron Claridge (Katherine Heigl and Oliver Macready) travel west in search of new opportunity. But when tragedy strikes and Marty is suddenly widowed, the young woman must face the rugged terrain, bleak weather, and life amoung stranger-alone. That is, until a handsome widower named Clark Davis (Dale Midkiff) suggests a platonic "marriage of convenience" until Mary can return home. As the months pass, though, Marty and Clark discover an unexpected new love where there was once only loss.
