Written By: Teleplay writer Cynthia Cherbak, based on the Mary E. Wilkins Freeman classic

Starring: Amy Madigan, Jay O. Sanders

Directed By: Victor Lobl

Father is going to build a new barn. Mother (Academy Award nominee Amy Madigan) wants the new house she's been promised. A simple story, yet one that reveals so much about love and respect and the often difficult times between those who strive and work to build a life together.

Set against the beautiful rustic backdrop of farming life in 1890 New England, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman's poignant story brings us two hard-working people of the land.

Sometimes the most difficult thing to see may be the needs of those who are closest to you.
