The story

Emma Moriarty (Sally Field) is a 33 year-old divorced mother who moves to a rural Arizona town to make a living by training and boarding horses. She becomes friends with the town's pharmacist, Murphy Jones (James Garner), an idiosyncratic widower. A romance between them seems unlikely, both because of the significant age difference and because Emma allows her ex-husband, Bobby Jack Moriarty (Brian Kerwin), to move back in with her and their 12-year-old son, Jake (Corey Haim).
