Lucinda Trout is a New York television reporter in search of greener pastures. Moving to the slower-placed, friendly, and vastly more affordable Midwestern town of Prairie City, she zealously creates a series of televised reports for her New York audience about her newfound quality of life. But when Lucinda falls for eccentric local Mason Clay, her naivete about the real world leads her down an unexpected path where she encounters, among other things, a drafty farmhouse filled with children, an ever-growing menagerie of farm animals, and the harshest winter the region has seen in twenty years. In other words, simplicity just isn't as simple as it is cracked up to be, and the "quality of life", Lucinda learns, is much more complicated than she ever imagined.
