Deep in the
plains of eastern Colorado lies a town called Holt. It's not a busy town, but
there's a lot going on. Tom Guthrie is raising two young sons as his wife steps
deeper into depression. Victoria Roubideaux finds herself seventeen, pregnant
and desperate, turning to schoolteacher Maggie Jones for help. And the solitary
ranching brothers Harold and Raymond McPheron aren't at all prepared for the
ways they'll be involved. Eric Schmiedl's adaptation of Kent Haruf's National
Book Award finalist is a sweeping, even-handed treatment of humanity in a small
plains town.
