The story

Wealthy planter John "Jack" Robert Sommersby left his farm to fight as a Confederate officer in the early days of the American Civil War and is presumed dead after six years. Despite the hardship of working their farm in Vine Hill, Tennessee, his apparent widow, Laurel, is content in his absence, free from an unpleasant and abusive husband. She makes remarriage plans with one of her neighbors, Orin Meacham, who has been helping her and her young son with the farmwork.
