In Emilee's opinion:

 I definitely recommend When Calls the Heart-The Dance. I really enjoyed it and wanted more. So, I went to the Hallmark website and found the other movies and episodes. Now, I wish I had the Hallmark channel but the first episode and a few of the movies are for sale on amazon. Wahoo!! And the series is inspired by Janette Oke's bestselling book series. So, now I can read as well. 

When Calls the Heart is clean and the characters are polite. Well, sometimes they don't get along but the community is supportive and understanding. I found myself engrossed in the film. It wasn't hard to fall in love with Elizabeth and Jack as well as the town-Coal Valley. Overall, I was impressed with When Calls the Heart. I loved the story and look forward to watching each episode. Very well done!

One of my lucky readers will win a copy of When calls the heart-The dance DVD.
