Episode 1:

In 1874, Rebecca Clarke travels with her 11-year-old daughter to the Canadian frontier in search of a new life. When she realizes the boardinghouse she purchased is not as advertised, she has no choice but to accept help from local rancher Tom Moore.

I hope many of you can enjoy Hope Valley: 1874 on Hallmark+!

I’m planning to renew my streaming subscription so I can enjoy this new series right away! I just can’t resist a good frontier drama! I’m far too excited to wait for it to eventually make its way to the Hallmark Channel.
