Have you ever lost someone close to you? Family friend, neighbor; or possibly your Mom, Dad, Sister or Brother? Now imagine that they are leaving, no way to stop them; and if they do not go, they are thrown in jail or end up a runaway convict. This is the horror of drafting.

“Mother had written him that she felt she was dying and wished to see him before she did. It must have been hard for both of them… I remember them sitting in the garden talking before she passed. He was crying. Vera and I were watching from my window. She whispered to me that she would never let anyone hurt me again…” I reached and touched his cheek. I saw that his eyes were misty. “You must have loved your mother very much,” I said softly. “Yes, I did- you are the only person I’ve ever loved…

Being the massive Jesse Hutch fan that I am, I first noticed Lilah Fitzgerald on the Hallmark film Harvest Moon. This past summer, Lilah happened to join twitter, and that gave me the opportunity to contact her for an interview. Upon researching her career, I realized that I had seen her during the first season of When Calls the Heart as well, but I hadn't made the connection at that time. This past summer, Lilah and her mom were gracious enough to sit and discuss Lilah's career so far in the…

I rubbed my pink eyes and opened them wide to see the starlit skies glisten and the luminous…
