The story line is odd. I like that the FL and ML has problems. The different between the rich family and middle class family is like night vs day. The rich family you can call them night and the middle class call them day. The night, full of problems, ike don't get along. No love or life among family members. The Day, a family full of life. Love among each other is shown.

The FL is full of doubt. You can tell she has some of love for her family (rather is from obligation because she was adopted I don't know). Her mother likes to oversee her every ways her life from her dating to her work habits. You can tell the FL resents her mother for those actions. At times, FL looks suicidal. Her life line is the ML.

ML is a man on a mission. He has known since High School. He wanted to prove that he wasn't beneath FL's family. He is a driven for success. He is a nice guy and doesn't demean females. He loves his family and it is noticable. He is well liked by his men at the fire station. ML and FL are trying to pickup their lives, form when she dumped him (not by her choice). You can feel the sarrow as she dumped him.

Fire fighting scenes keeps you on the edge. Some of the patriotic scenes are a little over-the-top. I still feel that it is well produced and casted. The turmoil that the brother was in you felt. Your heart sunk when he finally told his mother how he felt. FL had no choice to cut her mother off at te knees after she found out it was her mother that cause the suffering of the ML. There's a point where mothers have to let loose the bonds and let their children find their own way in life. Parents should be there when their children fall for support. FL's motherdidn't do that and she almost loss both of her children. I was good to see the mother had a hange of heart. It was a shame that it took a disaster for to see that the ML was a good man.

I hate that they didn't show the wedding. Producers, Directors and Writer did an outstanding job on this series.

The Series is well worth watching and seeing it again.
