Country Hearts vs Country at Heart
ReplyDeleteThese are two separate Hallmark projects...
Delete"Country at Heart" is a Hallmark movie that was supposed to premiere last year during Fall Harvest on the Hallmark Channel, but was suddenly removed from the lineup. The film stars Jessy Schram, Niall Matter and Lucas Bryant. You can see details about the movie + pictures - *HERE*! I know many of us are hopeful they will air it this year during Fall Harvest.
Country Hearts is a new Hallmark Publishing book by Cindi Madsen. It may potentially become a Hallmark movie in the future, although they might want to change the movie title so there is less confusion. You can see the storyline for this book - *HERE*.
