Marty and Aaron Claridge (Katherine Heigl and Oliver Macready) travel west in search of new opportunity. But when tragedy strikes and Marty is suddenly widowed, the young woman must face the rugged terrain, bleak weather, and life among strangers -- alone. That is until a handsome widower named Clark Davis (Dale Midkiff) suggests a platonic "marriage of convenience" until Marty can return home. As the months pass, though, Marty and Clark discover an unexpected new love where there was once only loss.   "...immensely entertaining and engaging..."  David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews "...["Love Comes Softly" is] a gentle series, as one might expect would come from a woman who was also a pastor."  James Plath, DVD Town   Editor's Note Based on the series of novels by Christian historical fiction writer Janette Oke, LOVE COMES SOFTLY was first aired on the Hallmark Channel. It tells the story of a young woman named Marty who travels with her new husband Aaron out west to make a home for themselves. Once there, however, Aaron unexpectedly dies, and a heartbroken Marty must now figure out how she will make it through the cruel frontier winter alone. For this reason she accepts the recently widowed Clarke's proposal, as a matter of survival. The two strike a deal, as he needs a mother for his child while she requires a roof over her head, and the pair agree that she will return home in the springtime. But love blooms during the cold months as this uncommon little family discuss important questions about life, love, and God, and struggle to help each other grow in the unfriendly winter environment.   Features Audio: English Dolby Digital Stereo Interactive Menus Scene Selection Subtitles: English, Spanish Full Screen Presentation Widescreen Presentation Audio: English Dolby Digital 5.1   Technical Info Release Information Studio: Foxvideo Release Date: 5/2/2008 Running Time: 88 minutes Original Release Date: 2004 Catalog ID: 2221448 UPC: 00024543114482 Number of Discs: 1 Audio & Video Original Language: English Available Audio Tracks: English Available Subtitles: English, Spanish Video: Color Aspect Ratio Anamorphic Widescreen/Standard  1.78:1/1.33:1 [4:3]   Cast & Crew Corbin Bernsen Dale Midkiff David Fine Katherine Heigl Oliver Macready Skye McCole Bartusiak Theresa Russell Cindy Kelley - Screenplay Colleen Halsey - Editor James W.
