Storyline

Sarah (Glenn Close) and farmer husband Jacob Witting (Christopher Walken) want to keep their family together, but a drought makes it difficult to farm their land and provide for their children. When a fire ruins several buildings on their property, Sarah takes stepdaughter Anna (Lexi Randall) and stepson Caleb (Christopher Bell) to her brother's home in Maine, leaving Jacob to tend what's left of their farm. As they steel themselves for a period of separation, Jacob and Sarah pledge to reunite.

Short Review

The cast is superb and the Kansas and Maine location filmings come off as appropriate to designer Ed Wittstein's locales and assured period representations.
