Katy Sue Hanson and her family cope with the unexpected death of Katy Sue's mother by taking care of the farm and one another. The arrival of Aunt Katherine brings further change, as she and Katy Sue's father gradually fall in love. Each person searches for his or her own definition of family--and love--in this gentle story set in 1940s Iowa.
