Heather Creek Farm is blanketed in snow and ice as the heart of winter settles over Nebraska, but things are heating up for the Stevenson family. Emily, embarrassed by an innocent mistake, takes up a new hobby that could bring Charlotte and her granddaughter closer together - if it doesn't tear them apart first. Meanwhile, Sam makes some new friends who aren't exactly Charlotte's cup of tea, and Christopher learns more about the farm's horses than he ever wanted to know. And when Pete comes across a car that's veered off the road, he tows the driver to safety and lands in trouble of his own. His budding relationship with Dana hits the skids when the grateful driver, Lisa Grienke, starts paying him lots of attention. Charlotte watches helplessly as Pete edges toward throwing away the best relationship he's ever had. Through it all, Charlotte struggles with letting go of what people think about her and her family and focusing on the abundance of blessings around her.
