Love Comes Softly

Marriages lasted so long in the Old West because men had access to whorehouses.

Regrettably, the husband in this drama won't live long enough to experience one.

Pregnant pioneer Marty (Katherine Heigl) must fend for herself when her husband dies en route to their new life out West. Unable to endure, she marries a widower, Clarke (Dale Midkiff), who asks that she keep house and care for his daughter Missie (Skye McCole Bartusiak) in exchange for room and board.

Although it is a sham marriage, over the winter months Marty not only warms up to her unlikely husband but also his steadfast faith in Him.

Based on the Christian book series, and the first installment in the 11-part franchise, this Hallmark made-for-TV movie cleverly keeps its pious undertones hidden behind an awkward romance and other frontier tomfoolery.

Mind you, back then the good book was predominantly used for squashing rattlesnakes.
