What Is Crossroad Springs About?

Great American Family is premiering on Great American Family in August. What is this new series about? This series follows the Hamilton family. The two siblings are James (Stoddard) and Janet (Alatalo). Their older family members are their father, Willis (Johnston), and Aunt Amy (Drummond). They are barely making a living on the family ranch in Hamilton that has had better days. They need help but don’t have the finances to hire the much-needed help.

In addition, James was a pastor in Chicago. As for Janet, she was an ER doctor.  Although they live in cities outside of Hamilton, they have left it all to return home. They want to help the family as they try to navigate their lives in this difficult situation. They have something to offer the ranch. Will their hard work and love of the ranch save the land they love?

However, there is an uncomfortable situation with a neighboring farm. Therefore, the siblings have to deal with the son, Daniel Newman (Hutch). They don’t trust each other because their families have been feuding for so many years. Can they find common ground?

“As he settles into his new day-to-day life on the farm, James begins to realize there are no places to worship on the thousands of acres of farms. There, in the environment of come-as-you-are vibes, barns, rodeo arenas, even outdoors under clear night skies, James starts a cowboy church right there in the place where faith, family, and ranch life go hand in hand.”
