Plot
In the early 1930s, Eliza Wyatt is left to run the family orange orchard while raising her two children, Luke and Betty, after her husband Frank dies of a heart attack. With foreclosure approaching, she withdraws the children from school to help harvest the orange crop. Frank's sister, Aunt Batty, moves in to homeschool them and assist with the farm. A drifter named Gabriel Harper arrives seeking work and is hired to help with the harvest in exchange for food and lodging. His efforts enable the family to complete the crop within thirty days and prevent the bank from taking the property. As Eliza learns more about his past through his personal journal, she develops feelings for him.
