Janette Oke’s tales of Christian pioneer romance continue with Love Takes Wing. Belinda Simpson (Sarah Jones, Big Love), struggling to recover from the loss of her husband and her faith, comes to a small Missouri town to become the local doctor. Her reception is cold--the locals are surprised to find that she’s a woman--and she’s immediately faced with a tough challenge in the form of an infection that is spreading through the town that has everyone frightened and eager to blame the local orphanage as the source. With the help of her best friend, Annie (Haylie Duff, 7th Heaven), and the town’s handsome young blacksmith (Jordan Bridges), Belinda fights to find a cure--and to open her heart to love and the Lord. The fight with illness makes Love Takes Wing one of the most dramatically successful stories of the Love Comes Softly series; in fact, both romance and religion are relatively downplayed in favor of the medical mystery. If anything, the movie’s dramatic heart is the relationship between Belinda and a feisty young orphan girl (Annalise Basso) in whom Belinda sees a younger version of herself. A strong supporting cast, including Patrick Duffy, Lou Diamond Phillips (who also directed), and the ever-dependable Cloris Leachman, lends acting heft. Fans of the series will find Love Takes Wing a solid addition, and newcomers seeking wholesome pioneer tales can enjoy it without any experience of the previous films. --Bret Fetzer

I like this story very much. It reminds me of all the prejudices Americans have exhibited against women and orphans in earlier centuries. What I like best about it is the glorious soundtrack at the end, with a heavenly voice saying something like, "...if I love, can I heal again..." and I keep trying to capture the lyrics. I have tried to find this female voice and this sound track on Google, but have failed.
I think that other strong points in this CD are the villain, who is really very "villainish" and the hotel owner, who is also a very believable villain. The mayor is excellent in his part.
Belinda Simpson and the smithy are equally good but I find it extremely confusing being introduced to three different "Belindas" through three different CD's.
Lillian is excellent in her part in this one, though not so much in the next CD. In this one, she is a winsome, really delightful child, just perfect for the part. One loves her, and wants to adopt her.
Cloris Leachman, as Miss Clarence is superb. Her acting throughout is as good as one could ever hope for. She has a really marvelous, mobile face that has a wide range of expressions that one really finds believable.
All in all, I am happy with this part of the series. But you must work hard to keep up the quality.
I am not a faith-connected person. I choose these stories because they are decent and make me believe that there is something inherently good in these stories. I try to take the religion stuff in stride the way I take any other extraneous element in stride. In other words, I see the sunrise, and it is the sunrise, not necessarily a metaphor for God. I think there are a lot of people like me.
 the story was not deep enough November 6, 2009

One of jeanette Oke's poorest stories
not enough dept to buy for me
needed more story interest
a waste of Patrick Duffey's abilities to act
I likes the man who was the love interest and the lady doctor but still not enough depth
