In the year 1910, New Englander Sarah Wheaton (Glenn Close) answers an ad for a mail-order bride placed by Kansas farmer Jacob Whitting (Christopher Walken) a widower rearing two children. She begins a 30 day trial period as their guest and enthusiastically assumes all motherly responsibilities. As the days pass, this lonely, motherless family gradually opens their hearts to Sarah and slowly comes to terms with their painful past. Their lives again become spontaneous and magical. Love and respect replace fear and distrust as they join together as a family.

Two years have passed and Sarah, the mail-order bride from Maine, is now part of the Witting family. She and Jacob have fallen even more deeply in love, and his two young children have truly become her own. They live a simple but rich life on the Kansas prairie...until a terrible drought ravages the land. They watch helplessly as one by one, their friends and neighbors abandon their farms...but they vow to stay together and fight for their home as a family. When wells run dry and flash fires threaten their very lives, they, too, are finally forced to make a painful decision that will tear them from their home...and from each other. Separated by miles, but bound together by love,they learn that devotion is what makes them a family...and that love is even more powerful than nature.
