Buffalo Valley, North Dakota. Like so many small Midwest
towns, it's dying. Stores are boarded up, sidewalks cracked,
houses need a coat of paint. But despite all that, there's a spirit
of hope here, of defiance. The people still living in Buffalo Valley
are fighting for their town.



Lyndsay Snyder is a newcomer. She's an outsider, even though she
spent childhood vacations here. Now she returns to see the family
house again, to explore family secrets and to reevaluate her life.



To her own astonishment, she decides to stay, to accept the
vacant position of teacher. Her decision marks a new beginning
for Buffalo Valley and for Lyndsay, who discovers in this broken
little town the love and purpose she's been seeking.
