The new, original Hallmark Channel primetime series is slated to begin production later this month and is set to premiere in 2023. The series has a time travel twist, with Leigh playing the character Kat Landry. She left her small, Canadian farm town of Port Haven many years ago after a family tragedy. Meanwhile, she remains estranged from her mother Del (MacDowell) to this day.
However, when her marriage comes to an end, and she is laid off from her job, Kat decides to return home. The decision came after she received an unexpected letter from Del, urging her to come home. Meanwhile, even though her 15-year-old daughter Alice isn’t too happy, Kat and her daughter arrive at the family’s farm. However, the family reunion isn’t quite what Kat had envisioned.
As the three generations of women work to find their footing as a family, they embark on an enlightening and surprising journey they could never have imagined.
