Christy
Nineteen year-old Christy Huddleston decides to leave a sheltered life of luxury in 1912 Asheville to serve as a teacher in a remote mission schoolhouse in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Young and naive but optimistic, she finds herself in the midst of overwhelming poverty, ignorance and superstition, yet also surrounded by great beauty, faith and love. Even as Christy wrestles against seemingly impossible odds to make a difference in her schoolchildren's lives, she is emotionally torn between the attentions of two very different men: Reverend David Grantland, a young, outspoken and idealistic minister from Boston, and Dr. Neil MacNeill, a man with a painful past, born and raised in Cutter Gap, now a physician working hard to establish the benefits of 20th century medicine in a place where folklore and herbalism prevail.
The series was based upon the novel written by Catherine Marshall in 1967.
The series was filmed on location in Townsend, Tennessee, USA.
Discover the Heartwarming Journey of "When Calls the Heart" Season 1
In a world where drama meets heartwarming tales of love and community, When Calls the Heart stands out as a beacon for those seeking both inspiration and entertainment. Premiering on January 11, 2014, this beloved Western drama series has captured audiences with its rich storytelling and well-developed characters. Set in the early 1900s, it follows Elizabeth Thatcher (played by Erin Krakow), a young school teacher from an affluent family who embarks on a journey to teach in Coal Valley—a small coal mining town fraught with challenges yet brimming with potential.
The backdrop of Coal Valley serves as more than just a setting; it is an integral character that reflects the struggles and triumphs faced by its inhabitants. Elizabeth's transition from her privileged upbringing to confronting the realities of frontier life introduces viewers to important themes such as resilience and community spirit. As she navigates her way through obstacles like a devastating mining accident that claims lives—including those close to Abigail Stanton (Lori Loughlin)—Elizabeth's growth becomes emblematic of hope against adversity.
