Plots:
Somewhere along the mid-19th century American East Coast frontier, two neighboring couples battle hardship and isolation, witnessed by a splendid yet testing landscape, challenging them both physically and psychologically.
In upstate New York in the 1850s, Abigail begins a new year on the rural farm where she lives with her husband Dyer. As Abigail considers the year to come through her journal entries, we experience the marked contrast between her deliberate, stoic manner and her unraveling complex emotions. Spring arrives and Abigail meets Tallie, an emotionally frank and arrestingly beautiful newcomer renting a neighboring farm with her husband, Finney. The two strike up a tentative relationship, filling a void in their lives which neither knew existed.
Schoharie County, 1856. Unable to cope with loss, heart-wrenching grief and silent depression consume Abigail. However, life is unpredictable–as she drifts apart from Dyer, her farmer husband, the urgency of camaraderie brings together defeated Abigail and Tallie, a luminous new neighbour. As a result, revelatory feelings pave the way for a blooming, out-of-view friendship amid a harsh world carved out by men. But this is uncharted territory. What is it like to be seen and heard, to love and be loved?
