Hope Island

Reverend Daniel Cooper has come to Hope Island to reopen the Community Church, hoping the assignment will help him through the grief of a terrible loss. Distrusted by the local inhabitants and with the church in a terrible state of disrepair and neglect, he feels alone and rejected. He is befriended by a lonely boy named Dylan who will help him do the repairs to the church. Daniel makes him an acolyte, much to the disapproval of his single mother, Alex Stone, who runs the local inn. She is the town's cynic who has turned her back on the church long ago. In time Daniel earns the trust and respect of her and many of Hope Island's colorful and eccentric characters. In turn the beauty and tranquility of Hope Island and the warmth of its community will help him heal, renewing and strengthening his faith. He finds love again as he comes to care deeply for Alex.
