Love's Enduring Promise

2004 · 88 min

A gentle, wholesome frontier romance that unfolds slowly and comfortably, offering cozy reassurance rather than surprise.

Overview: In the 1800s frontier, Missie Davis is a bright and beautiful schoolteacher whose love for the prairie is matched only by her passion for books. When Missie encounters Grant, a handsome New England railroad executive, she feels as though she's met a hero from one of her novels.
