This film is based on a teleplay by Robert Tate Miller and a novel written by Lynn Austin. Eliza Wyatt is a widowed California farmer with two children. She struggles against the odds of the Great Depression to bring in her orange crop and save the only home she's ever known. When a drifter offers to help, she feels he's the answer to her prayers. But his polite and well-spoken manner raises questions as well.
Widowed with two children and beginning to lose her faith, Eliza must bring in the harvest before the bank forecloses on her family’s home. Just when things can’t get any worse, fate brings along hope in the form of Gabe Harper. He is a handsome and down-on-his-luck veteran. Together Eliza and Gabe overcome the odds to save the Wyatt Orchard with the help of stubborn but lovable Aunt Batty and a few generous townsfolk.
This is a triumphant tale of faith, family and commitment. It is a moving drama that exhibits the theme that when people have a need something will happen to satisfy it. After loosing her husband, Eliza takes in a drifter to help with the harvest. As the two of them become closer by working together, a question arises? Are we products of our past or projections of our future? With the looming prospect of losing her farm to her creditors, Eliza learns that praying can change things!!
