Lacey Chabert has done over thirty Hallmark Movies before she turned 40 on September 30th, 2022. This is her thirty-first movie.
Food Network star Katie Lee Biegel wrote a book called Groundswell shortly after her divorce with Billy Joel. Crown Media Family Networks optioned the book and adapted it into a Hallmark Channel movie which was filmed on location in Hawaii.
Just before Emma and Ben go out on the water, Ben shows her the leash and tells her it keeps her attached to her board. When Emma wipes out for the first time, there is no leash attached to her ankle (or anywhere else). Yet she still comes up right next to her board.
