A shared vision transforms the American landscape forever.New York, 1858: Mary, a young widow with three children, agrees to marry her brother-in-law Frederick Law Olmsted, who is acting on his late brotherâÇÖs deathbed plea to 'not let Mary suffer.' But she craves more than a marriage of convenience and sets out to win her husbandâÇÖs love.
