Description:

Grieving her fiancé’s death, Lizzie Walker struggles to find purpose to her life in Rugby, Tennessee, a utopian community in the Appalachian Mountains. But that changes when William, a wealthy flatlander mourning the loss of his sister, arrives. Teaching together in the community’s school sparks a budding relationship as they embrace Rugby’s classless society and equality for women. However, their peace is short-lived. Lucas, a mountain man, begins harassing Lizzie, who dreads his references to their past, while William fears that exposing his own dark secret will destroy Lizzie’s growing respect and love. When disaster strikes Rugby, Lizzie and the local women embrace their talents and restore hope in their future.
