- Synopsis
- In Stratford, Ontario in 1904, William Spence (a medical student on the verge of becoming a doctor) receives "The Call" while attending a Methodist revival at the request of a friend. His bride-to-be, Hope Morris, accepts his decision to enter the ministry with a whole heart despite the disappointment of her prominent and affluent parents. Will "dives right in", but with no vacancies in Canada, is posted as a circuit minister to a small town in rural Iowa, beginning a life for them of frequent moves around the district, dingy parsonages, and scraping a living from poor boxes and performing weddings. Hope yearns for a decent parsonage and a sense of permanence for their children, but uncomplainingly provides them a good life and a supportive home for Will and their 3 children.
