HE ASKED HIS BROTHER TO GIVE HIS WIFE THE ONE THING HE COULDN'T.

Together they worked the land. Together they loved a woman. But when Jonathan asked of Aaron what he could ask of no other man a brother's act of compassion becomes a man's act of love.

To his younger brother Aaron, she was a beloved friend. Then, after seven years of childless marriage, one tumultuous weekend of sensual discovery turns their world upside down. And amid the timeless rhythm of the changing seasons, Mary awakens to the bittersweet infidelity that can give her the child she has longed for, and a new understanding of what it is to love.
