Description

Amanda's decision to leave her nursing job at the end of the First World War is motivated by her need for rest and solace. She retreats to her family's farm, hoping that life with her sister Mattie and niece Ruth will bring her the peace she seeks. However, Amanda soon discovers that her old home is not a refuge from her troubles. The arrival of Mattie's husband Carl from the war sets off a chain of events that ultimately leads to Mattie's mysterious death. As the truth about that night is finally revealed, it proves to be both dramatic and moving. The consequences of this event reverberate for years, and the story unfolds in a way that is both surprising and deeply affecting.
