All alone on the Kansas prairie, Summer Steadman has few options. With her husband and children lost to illness, she has no desire to continue on farther west to where she and her husband planned to make their future. Instead, she seeks employment in a tiny Mennonite community in order to be close to the graves of her family. Widower Peter Ollenburger, the neighborhood gristmill owner, needs someone to teach his young son. When he hears of an "learned woman" around, he believes she actually is the response to his prayers. He soon discovers, however, that helping this outsider may have troublesome consequences. There is little this father will not do for his son, but as the boy starts to look at Summer as greater than a teacher, Peter must make a choice. Does he marry this woman to provide his son a new mother, or does he marry limited to love? Will Summer's broken heart ever be able to love again?
