Season One of the drama series When Hope Calls premiered on August 30, 2019.
Plot[]
The series is set in 1916 in Brookfield, a former gold mining town, which has become a ranching community. It follows Lillian and Grace, originally introduced in When Calls the Heart: The Greatest Christmas Blessing, as two orphaned sisters, who were separated when Lillian was seven and Grace was five. The two reunite as adults and open an orphanage together. Mountie Gabriel has a romantic interest in Lillian, as does Sam Tremblay, a prospector and handyman. Chuck, a rancher turned veterinarian, is the object of Grace's flirtations, much to the dismay of his dubious mother, Tess Stewart. Grace and Lillian help the children in their care through problems they encounter, with the aid of the townspeople of Brookfield.
