A pioneering clan struggles to stay together - for the family, for the
land, and for the promise of the future - amid life’s adversities.
With few alternatives, pioneer widow Marty Claridge (Katherine) took up
with Clark Davis (Dale Midkiff), a tough widower with a daughter named
Missie (January Jones). What began as a relationship that was
strictly business led unexpectedly to deep compassion and respect.
Now they have a farm to tend, a family to feed, and a lot of love to
give. However, the new season is bringing unexpected surprises and
hardships since an accident has left Clark incapacitated. Facing the
risk of losing their crop, Marty and the kids pull together. But for
nineteen-year-old Missie, life is offering something else as she
discovers a new beginning of her own.
Two new suitors are vying for the attention of the lovely young
schoolteacher: handsome Grant Thomas (Mackenzie Astin), a railroad man surveying the land, and Nate (Logan
Bartholomew), a mysterious traveler who’s been
tending to Clark’s medical needs as well as his farm. Little does
Clark realize, but he’s become a link between this enigmatic
stranger and an old friend named Zeke, who harbors a dark secret
that has shadowed his life. As Nate’s true identity and mission are
revealed, so is his deep affection for Missie.
