Turns out it was Jeff Bezos. Or at least this title which is has everything you expect from a Hallmark special and more. Small townyness, Heartwarmyness, lossyness, salt of the earth people, over the top period costumes (1960s). God in an easy to swallow package and some very well executed drawls. Oh-and among the best small town sexy dames with a heart of gold ever. Played by Johanna Jowett. Also a Great list of forgotten actors delivering quality performances, Corbin Bernsen of LA Law, Melissa Gilbert from - was it little house on the Prarie? And the a delightful (albeit Hallmarky) performance from the amazing Cloris Leachman, who we often forget won an Oscar for her performance in 1971s "The Last Picture Show" since she's delivered great performances in everything from the Mary Tyler Moore Show 'Ten cents a dance, thats all they pay me, gosh how they weigh me down' to Mel Brooks "Young Frankenstein" 'Stick Close to the candles, theeese stairs are trecherous'. If you like shmaltz, this is as good as it gets, If you don't (I don't) Its still a perfectly OK way to spend time.
But please also watch the really great things some of these actors were in.
