Erasmus was an old friend of the family who lived in Chickory Creek, the small town in Kentucky where Hattie grew up. The family frequently returned to Chicory Creek to celebrate holidays and to rest. Occasionally they were assisted by Tess or other angels while they tried to help people overcome their personal problems or rekindle their lapsed faith.Early in the second season, Claire found out that she was pregnant, but tragically their infant daughter, Grace, died soon after her birth in the season's final episode. In the third season, the family decided to settle down and moved into a run-down small house in a poor neighborhood in.
It is about the spinoff of TOuched by An Angel Promised land is about a family traveling in an RV accross America. Promised Land stays true to the spirit of its parent show, focusing on regular American people trying to live right. In a non-preachy, non-supernatural way, it conveys messages of God's love, the importance of faith, and the importance of loving thy neighbor, even if thy neighbor is a pain in the rear end (and in a trailer, everybody gets on each other's nerves at times).
Russell convinced the owner to let them live there rent free in exchange for the renovations he made to the house. Claire got a job as a guidance counselor at the local high school, where Josh and Dinah enrolled as students. Russell volunteered at the Ridley Center, a neighborhood teen center.
Living next door to the Greenes in Denver were Shamaya and her teenage brother L.T., a former gang member who was struggling with trying to go straight. Josh's girlfriend was Bobbie, an unwed mother with an infant son, and Dinah had a friend named Margot, who enjoyed the 1940s era and its fashions in particular. In the series final episode, Hattie married an old friend of the family and Russell quit the Ridley Center to take a job as a police officer.Most of the third season was spent in Denver, Colorado, but — much like Touched by an Angel — it was filmed in.Cast Main. as Russell Greene. as Claire Greene.
