Plot summary
A farmer named Matthews, his son Phineas and his three daughters leave a failing farm behind for new land. A county agricultural agent, David Barkley, offers the family his help and is drawn to Deborah, Matthews's eldest daughter. Matthews needs Deborah to run his house and fears that David would take her away, so he turns down the man's advice and assistance. He is stubborn and dozes through a sermon about education, understanding and tolerance. Susan, the youngest daughter, is ten and longs to raise lambs; she signs up with the 4-H club, borrows money from a bank to purchase two lambs and tends them as a mother would.
