What is When Calls the Heart About?
The series revolves around Elizabeth Thatcher, a young woman hailing from a high-society family. She lands a job as a teacher and receives her first assignment in Coal Valley, a small coal-mining town in Western Canada which is located just south of Robb, Alberta. Despite the simple life in the small town, there are several obstacles that afflict the residents living here. The show is an amalgamation of several sub-plots.
A central plot is an ever-evolving romance between Elizabeth and Jack Thornton, a Royal Northwest Mounted Police Constable. Another sub-plot with a grimmer subtext is that of Abigail Stanton, whose husband and some other miners get killed in an explosion. Abigail and the other widows of the miners must now fend for their families by working at the mine. The show presents a fine balance between historical drama and romance.
