Synopsis

Loves Enduring Promise movie scenes

Missie Davis (January Jones) is a young woman who, although working as a school teacher, spends lots of time reading. Her father has a near-fatal accident but is saved by a mysterious stranger with a troubled past (Logan Bartholomew). When she meets a rich young man who is just like the heroes in the novels she reads (Mackenzie Astin), she is torn between them and has to decide what is really important.

Differences from the novel

  • This book picks up 3 years after Love Comes Softly, with Missie being 5 years old, Clare (Aaron in the film) being 3, and Arnie being born in the third chapter of the book. The book expands through to Missies teen years. Missie and Clare are closer together in age than they are depicted in the film.
  • Zeke LaHaye and his wife have 3 children in the novel; Tessie, Nathan, and Willie. Tessie and Nathan are not mentioned in the film. Willies full name in the film is Willie Nathan LaHaye, as mentioned in the novel Loves Long Journey. Willie did not have a younger brother named Mattie in the novel. His mother and sister die.
  • Clark and Marty have a daughter, Elvira "Ellie", and another son, Luke, who are not shown in the film. Many other characters mentioned in the book are not mentioned in the film, such as Nandry and Clae Larson. Though Ellie isnt seen or mentioned in some of the other films in the original series, she is shown as a character with her brother Aaron in the film Loves Christmas Journey
  • In the book, Missie only courted Ben and Ma Grahams son before Willie LaHaye.
  • Some of the situations in the film were not directly from the book.
