The Book Series Will Be Written By The Original Author And Her Daughter
The book series based on the Hallmark Movies spinoff “When Hope Calls” will be written by When Calls the Heart author Janette Oke and her daughter Laurel Oke Logan. The books will feature the same characters as in the movies, and the first in the series, “Unyielding Hope” will come out in May of 2020. This will be the first of a planned series of When Hope Calls books. “Unyielding Hope” promises to reveal more about the story of Lillian and Grace, the two orphaned sisters who reunite to found an orphanage in Canada in the early 20th century.
It is already available to pre-order through Amazon HERE
The description of “Unyielding Hope”, provided by the publisher Bethany House, is as follows: “Lillian Walsh has already suffered more than most. After the passing of her sister and birth parents when she was younger, and now her adoptive mother’s recent death, Lillian struggles to understand why God would allow her to lose so much. Yet her adoptive father seems ready to move on, boarding up their home to embark on an extended visit to his native Wales.
Then a lawyer turns up on their doorstep with news that again upends Lillian’s life. She has inherited a small estate from her birth parents and, even more shocking, her younger sister Grace is likely alive. Lillian rushes to reunite with her sister, despite the fear that they won’t be able to rebuild a connection. When the two sisters meet, Grace is not what Lillian expected–she’s full of exuberance and big dreams despite being raised in difficult circumstances. Can Lillian set aside her own plans to join her sister in an adventure that will surely change them both?”

“Unyielding Hope” Is The First In A Series Of Three
“Unyielding Hope” is the first of the three-book “When Hope Calls” book series, and will explore stories that we haven’t yet seen on the Hallmark Movies Now series. Janette Oke is also the author of six novels in the “Canadian West” series, which inspired the series “When Calls The Heart”. In addition, Janette and her daughter Laurel Oke Logan are also the authors of three books in the Return to the Canadian West series, a companion series to “When Calls The Heart”.
The release of the novels gives hope to “When Hope Calls” fans, who have not yet heard whether the television series will be renewed for a second season or not. It was Hallmark’s first foray into streaming-only content, a fact that some viewers were frustrated with and annoyed at being asked to pay for yet another subscription in order to see the episodes. Hallmark hasn’t released any specific viewership numbers for the show either, which stars Morgan Kohan as Lillian and Jocelyn Hudon as Grace.
But the network did say in a September 2019 press release that the series had signups to Hallmark Movies Now “surging” and on their Instagram account fans are begging for the show to return, saying they need to see more of Grace and Lillian’s story. “When Hope Calls”, Season One is currently streaming on Hallmark Movies Now.
