From the opening scene, very much against old world Amish to ride on the back of a horse.

I liked Jes Macallan in this movie. I've never seen her in anything else and her eyes are so pretty. I love forward to seeing more of her. And the grandmother was none other than Kelly McGillis (from Top Gun). I didn't even notice that while I was watching the movie. I need to start looking at who is playing in the movies I watch these days so I can notice my old favorite actors and actresses. This was a different kind of movie. Thanks Hallmark for going beyond the normal romantic comedies/dramas and working on scripts that may be controversial. Perfecto!!

While the interchange use of Medic and Nurse throughout describing Grace's combat role which she was pulled away from her unit to help in a time of illness at her stateside home. It only matters that when neighbor Levi cried out to her for help, she quickly responded calling for medical assistance and helped save the life of a wounded mother at the farm next door and her unborn child as Levi's Step-Father lay dead on the floor having tried to save his family against the teachings of his religion Hard working Levi is dedicated to his family that had just seen the murder of his step-father and in direct at odds with the teachings of his Amish Bishop who is a strict on discipline and has shunned a part of Levi's family for marriage outside of their sect. Levi secretly reads books, which the Bishop forbids as they corrupt them. Yet a murderer is in the community and the sheriff is trying to locate them. While they conduct their manhunt, things disappear from Grace's mother's barn, Grace becomes aware that her sister may have been duped into participation with the wanted suspect.Levi and Grace and bring them closer while she is in conflict about returning to the Army and her Army Unit half a world away, that Levi struggles with her roles in the Army where she aids people with guns, who use their guns for violence against mankind. As their friendship grows, the boundaries for Levi are clear and he knows friendship with an "English" woman is not proper for him.Levi's mother recovers from wounds the Bishop considers shameful, The Bishop assigns his lovely daughter Zillah, who exhibits a stone cold knifing heart, to run Levi's household so not to include Levi's shunned side of his family. This gives Zillah leverage to force Levi to take her as his wife. Against all objections, she stays for a while. At night and dressed in a sleeping gown and robe, Zillah walks into Levi's room in the barn and catches him reading which she reports to her father that he was improper with her as well and the Bishop demands repentance and marriage to his daughter. Levi refuses.A stray cow wanders over to Grace and she brings her back to Levi's that night. As rain falls, a gunshot rings out inside his house and they find that Levi's younger siblings found a gun and out of curiosity took it inside and accidentally shot a hole in the floor. Grace's sister had just became pen pals with someone who was just released from jail who seemingly had one of his fingerprints of a shell casing of the gun and the Sheriff's Department and his deputy renew their efforts to find him as their prime suspect.Grace finds her sister in their barn aiding the escape of the suspect who is also followed by the Deputy who no longer find his once jailed employee useful and is about to plant the gun as evidence that a shootout caused the death of Grace and her sister and the Deputy shot back in self-defense. He just didn't count on Levi doing the uncommon!

This was a great movie it kept my interest all the way to the end because I was curious how the movie would end and it was very good, would love to see more movies like this where you can't tell how the movie is going to end! Those are the best movies! Hint Hint!I love the cast too.
