Storyline
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, Daniel feels alone and rejected. He is befriended by a lonely boy named Dylan who will help him do repairs to the church. Daniel makes him an acolyte, much to the disapproval of Dylan's mom, Alex Stone, a single mother who runs the local inn 'The Widow's Walk'. Alex is the town's cynic who has long ago turned her back on the church. In time Daniel earns the trust and respect of Alex and many of Hope Island's colorful and eccentric characters. In turn the beauty and tranquility of Hope Island and the warmth of it's community will help Daniel heal, renewing and strengthening his faith. He finds love again as he comes to care deeply for Alex Stone. Written by Emmanuel Valerio {evalerio@shaw.ca}

I am not a big TV fan. And, I highly recommend Hope Island for anyone who is tired of the usual network programming. Hope Island is a refreshing alternative to shows that pass for programming on most networks. Hope Island makes up for it's lack of violence, gratuitous sex, mean spirited humor, and offensive scripts with a cast of lovable and believable characters.
I find myself rooting for the `good guys' who seem to struggle with the same questions in life that I struggle with. In a few short episodes, I have formed an attachment to and affection for the characters on Hope Island.
In addition, the show is especially well crafted. For those of you who find the sloppy production that is the norm offensive, Hope Island is a treat. I am especially impressed with the sound editing. I am constantly amazed by the subtle and effective use of sound in Hope Island to convey just the right mood for the scene.
