The year is 1919, and--for reasons that eventually become clear--Amanda Starkey leaves the big city to go home and live with her sister Mattie, whose husband has been wounded in World War I and has not yet returned.

Mattie drowns in the pond just before Carl, her husband, returns, leaving their little girl, Ruth, whose upbringing is eventually shared between Amanda and Carl. The truth about Mattie's drowning eventually emerges, along with other buried secrets, as Carl and Amanda struggle to forge some kind of family and future for Ruth.
