Plot summary
In a small Connecticut town, Rachel Cameron, 35, is a shy, unmarried schoolteacher with no man in her life. She and her widowed mother share the apartment above the funeral home her father once owned. School is out for summer, and she expects a dull vacation at home. Her best friend, the unmarried teacher Calla Mackie, takes her to a revival meeting, where a visiting preacher urges her to express her need for love; the outburst of feeling leaves her embarrassed.
