DVD Review: When Calls the Heart: Heart of the Family

When Calls the Heart series is inspired by Janette Oke's book series and produced by Michael Landon, Jr. This DVD is the third DVD of Season 2. Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow) is back in Hope Valley and is thankful for the new school/church building. Humor ensues when Elizabeth volunteers to help a farmer take care of his two children and farm while he is gone. Jack (Daniel Lissing) comes to lend her a hand. Clara works at Abigail's cafe but her real talent lies in sewing. Luke McCoy shows interest in Clara but Clara is reluctant to respond. Henry Gowen, the new mayor of Hope Valley, tries to make things difficult for Lee Coulter who is planning to construct a railroad. Charles Kensington shows up unexpectedly in Hope Valley. Bill Avery is supposedly after a counterfeiting ring but it's hard to tell what he is really up to. Suspicion. Manipulation. Romance. Can't wait to see the next DVD! My 22 year old daughter and I have enjoyed watching this family-friendly & entertaining series together. Hope you'll check it out!

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...
