A four-character drama set in 1910 Kansas, which revolves around a withdrawn, widowed father, his children Anna and Caleb, ages 9 and 6, and Sarah Wheaton, a compassionate yet feisty single woman from Maine who responds to Jacob's advertisement for ""a kind woman to share a life—to make a difference; no picture necessary."" Giving herself a month's trial to make that difference, Sarah finds herself battling against Jacob's stubborn ways, Anna's uneasy resentment, and the memories of wife and mother that haunt father and daughter.
