Nancy York, just out of college, accepts the assignment to a
one-room schoolhouse in the remote community bordering Troublesome
Creek. The clannish ways of the mountain people soon collide with
her preconceived notions. Nancy boards in the home of widowed
Wesley Taggart and his five young children. Her strong personality
clashes with the assured and enigmatic Mr. Taggart. Further, the
circumstances of Mrs. Taggart's death shroud the household with a
mysterious pathos. Nancy discovers her textbook knowledge has
ill-equipped her to help this family deal with their grief. A rare
skin condition plagues the community: some of the children are born
with blue skin. Nancy tries to change the attitude of unfounded
rejection and shame associated with the disease. Nancy and Wesley
lay aside their differences and together work for the betterment of
the community. Their effort weaves a tapestry of hope and love, but
the thread that binds threatens to unravel when tragedy strikes.
This poignant and thought-provoking drama offers a winding plot of
suspense, good versus evil and the misunderstandings that abound
when cultures clash. It's a love story inundated with natural
disasters, diseases and death. These calamities highlight the
harshness of the Appalachia culture. The strongest sensation of all
is the pain that's associated with love.
