User Reviews

Love's Long Journey, my cousin played "Willie"

I so enjoyed watching this movie! I saw the first, "love comes softly". Then, I found out from my 1st cousin, John Bartholomew, who lives in Galion, Ohio, that his son, my 2nd cousin, Logan Bartholomew was going to be playing the part of Willie in, "love's enduring promise"!! What a thrill! I also found out that Logan was playing a lead part in the 3rd series of Janette Oke's "love's long journey". That was a great one that my whole family enjoyed. Very well scripted.

Not only is Logan a great looking young fellow, he actually shows signs that he could become a very well-known actor in the future. His horsemanship is great....he gets that from my side of the family!

I can only hope that he will be given the opportunity in the future to star in some really notable films. So far, he's doing wonderfully.

All of us in his immediate family are very proud of him in his accomplishments thus far and only wish him the best. I spoke to Logan the day after "love's long journey" aired and he was just so sweet and humble.

He's working with some great people!!
