The Atkins family, of the Nebraska plains, is a family of women headed by Cora, who has learned to submit to the rhythms of nature and maintains a moral innocence. Her sister-in-law, Belle, dies in childbirth. Sharon Rose, Belle's daughter, is raised by Cora and eventually leaves Nebraska for the sophistication of the East Coast. Years later she returns to the plains and comes face-to-face with Cora's dignity, resourcefulness, and resolute character.
