β¦ Synopsis
**Follow three women from three eras in the Pacific Northwest as they discover a place where miracles really happenβbased on true stories.
1901:**Plagued by loneliness on the Big Muddy Ranch, a sheepherderβs wife awaits the outcome of her husbandβs trial for murder. He is sentenced to life in prisonβand she to life without him. But a startling event could redeem their pasts and transform their future.
**1984:**Against a backdrop of attempted murder, federal indictments, and the first case of bio-terrorism in the U.S., one woman seeks to rescue her granddaughter from within the elaborate compound of a cult that has claimed the land.
**1997:**On the much-reviled, abandoned cult site, one womanβs skepticism turns to hope when she finds that what was meant to destroy can be used to rebuildβand in the process realizes a long-held dream.
For three women seekers united across time, a remote and rugged stretch of land in the Pacific Northwest proves to be a place where miracles really happenβand the gifts of faith, hope, and charity are as tangible as rocks, rivers, and earth.
