The series is inspired by the novel by Janette Oke and follows Elizabeth Thatcher (Krakow), a young high society teacher.

As a widow and single mother, Elizabeth faces new challenges, but also enters into a new relationship with mysterious gambler Lucas Bouchard (McNally). In the ninth season, Hope Valley is in a state of growth, with the foundry progressing and the evolution of important relationships.
