Unable to have children of their own, they adopt twin girls and move to a beautiful country house outside of Cleveland. They begin to settle into what they hope will be a long and happy life. But when Morgan is called to serve in the war, leaving Maude to raise their young daughters alone, they find their lives irrevocably changed.
