Description: Set in the fictional town of Northcross, Connecticut, Where the Heart Is focuses on the sexual and psychological intrigues of the dysfunctional Hathaway family. Although some believe that the serial was patterned after Grace Metalious’ scandalous novel Peyton Place (and subsequent television adaptation), the serial was actually CBS’ attempt to create a psychosexual, family melodrama popularized by NBC's Days of Our Lives.
