Arranged marriage blooms amid neighbor’s schemes and a child’s healing.
Amy Carter, the heavier second daughter, is sent to wed Leo, the farmer whose long-ago rescue of her father obligates their families. She reaches rural Greenfield and finds a husband whose physical power matches his striking looks, a surprise that unsettles the practical arrangement. Next door, Nina circles Leo with open intent and encourages her son to torment Leo’s stepdaughter Mia. Amy steps between them, earning the girl’s trust and forging a bond that deepens while Leo is away. Together they pursue a quiet transformation, shedding weight and gaining confidence, even as Nina’s hostility sharpens toward a public confrontation.
