The Haneys are simple country folk--farmers, lumberjacks, veterans of Korea and Vietnam. But simple is a term used for lifestyle, not human complexity. The setting is the early 70's in Vermont. These folks are people you will learn to love, dislike, and remember. Nancy Bowles has lost her beloved brother in the Vietnam war and is inconsolable. Nineteen and living with her bereaved parents, she feels she needs a change of circumstance or go mad. The recent breakup with a boyfriend adds to her depression. When an airman, who she and a girlfriend befriended, asks her to marry him, she thinks it is a message from God. John Haney is thirty-three and has a son fifteen. He is honest with Nancy telling her he needs to marry to get custody of his son from his parents. The ensuing drama is both disastrous and heart rending.
