Love's Enduring Promise (DVD, 2005, Full Frame)

A heartwarming tale for the whole family, LOVE'S ENDURING PROMISE is directed by Michael Landon Jr. (LOVE COMES SOFTLY), and is based on the bestselling book series by award-winning author Janette Okes. A makeshift pioneer family is created when a widow and widower come together for the purposes of survival. Their purely business relationship, however, eventually evolves into one of mutual love and respect. Now the whole family thrives on the unity they have achieved, but when patriarch Clark Davis (Dale Midkiff) is injured, they are faced with much hardship as they work to prevent the loss of the crops. Nineteen-year-old daughter Missie, a schoolteacher, has two suitors pursuing her: Thomas (Mackenzie Astin, THE FACTS OF LIFE) is a handsome railroad man; and Nate (Logan Bartholomew, AMERICAN WEDDING) is a mysterious stranger who has been taking care of Clark as well as the farm. But Nate's true identity links Clark to his old friend Zeke, who harbors a dark secret that may change everything.
