Marty (Katherine Heigl)'s daughter Missie Davis (January Jones) is a kind hearted teacher. Passing surveyor Grant Thomas takes a liking to her. Her father Clark Davis is accidentally injured and saved by a mysterious farmhand named Nate. Nate helps to plant the field. The family calls it God's enduring promise. Nate has to resolve things with his father after a tragedy destroyed his family. Davis returns to court Missie and it turns out that his family is extremely wealthy. Davis offers her a life of luxury to get away from her struggles with poverty.
I think Missie is suppose to be a teenager but January Jones is not. She has always played a little older and there is something off with her in this role. The fact that she's even slightly older than Katherine Heigl doesn't help. The story is functional with a message of endurance. It would be helpful to reveal Nate's secret from the start so that Nate and Missie can build more chemistry together.
