Don't try to compare the book and the movie. Just love each of them in their own right. The only things they have in common are a hand full of the names and the chicken beak clip. Neither one should be discarded because it isn't identical to the other one. I was thrilled to see the commercials stating that it was coming out. For some reason Hollywood seems to think that viewers want to see practically pornography and blood and guts 24/7, but sometimes you just want something calm. I love Dale Midkiff. I've been a fan of his since Time Trax and The Magnificent Seven so I was definitely glad to see him again. He makes those 1800's hats look...Wow! I would love to be able to collect a hug from him. This was my first time seeing Katherine Heigl in action, and I like her too. My only thing there was I'm sick of hearing women give birth on screen, but it wasn't her fault that was in the script. I wish I knew how to contact Michael Landon, Jr. so I could tell him about Lori Wick's 'The Californians' series and 'A Place Called Home' series. Also Lori Copeland's book 'Hope' would be a humdinger to film, she is hilarious. If you want a pleasant evening, watch this movie or read the book both are good in their own way. Rita
