Lucy Bartonová sa pomaly zotavuje po pôvodne jednoduchej operácii. Príde ju navštíviť matka, ktorú nevidela niekoľko rokov. Zdá sa, že klebetenie o ľuďoch z Lucinho detstva v mestečku Amgash v Illinois im umožňuje znovu si k sebe nájsť cestu, no pod povrchom sa skrýva napätie a túžba, ktoré dodnes prenikajú do každého zákutia Lucinho života: jej únik od problémovej rodiny, jej sen stať sa spisovateľkou, jej manželstvo a láska k dvom dcéram.
