She cherishes the small farm she and her late husband purchased, and the plans they had for fixing up the old place. She can’t bear the thought of parting with her two riding horses. But even the income from her office job isn’t enough to keep the farm afloat. Although her father tells her it’s time to face reality, she remains resolute.

In the midst of her own difficulties, Viola reaches out to help a co-worker who has personality issues. People dislike him, but what makes him the way he is? What is it about Cleon that elicits such differing reactions from those who know him best?

Viola is only trying to help Cleon improve his social skills, but folks begin to suspect that a romance is buddiing. Let them think what they will, she will treat him with kindness and respect. But she hasn’t considered what she’s opening herself up to. Some people believe he could be dangerous.
