Synopsis : Elizabeth may have been in the mood for change for some time, but a stroke of ill fate was not really what she had in mind. When her husband dies unexpectedly, she finds herself left not only with a distraught group of in-laws and two teenage sons who seem to have lost their way, but also with a farm, replete with seasonal workers from Latin America. Up to this point, the farm has been of little interest to her, but now she has no choice but to face these new challenges.
