Ona, an eastern career woman, leaves her comfortable but unexpectedly disquieting environment for a sabbatical on an inherited Midwestern farm. Her life s order is interrupted by concern for her hired help, an orphaned teenager named Emma. Her desire to mentor and improve this girl s life is thwarted by the largest landholder, B.G. Gretch, and his son, Bobby. B.G. loves his fiefdom which he has prepared for this only child, a college graduate. Bobby recognizes his father s obsolescence yet still loves the man. At the same time, he understands Ona, a woman from a different place, and Emma, a girl he comes to love. B.G. will not accept the cracker Emma and threatens to shoot himself if his son s relationship continues. The concluding actions are what every woman from any time, place, or culture will understand. However, they will only raise more questions for every man.
