The story

The episodic plot, involving three farm families and marked by the seasons within a little over one year, takes place in rural southern Maine. The main character, Jen Shaw, is a young woman who has primary responsibility for her family while her father Mark deals with the hardships of farming. Despite such hardships and the complaints of her step-sister Margaret and step-mother Cora, who dream of returning to city life, Jen seems largely satisfied with her life.
