Summary
In the midst of a perilous winter, a mysterious wanderer unexpectedly arrives at Jacob and Sarah's isolated Kansas farm. The stranger is John Witting, the father who abandoned young Jacob and his mother when Jacob was still a young child. Never fully understanding the reasons for his father's departure, Jacob has been embittered by a burden of anger and grief. Though John wins the hearts of the children and the sympathy of Sarah, Jacob is tormented by his father's return. Despite a late winter storm that paralyzes the farm, their greatest obstacle isn't tending to the land--they must reconcile a relationship strained by years of resentment and neglect.
