Sarah's childhood was lonely and joyless - since then she hated the secluded lifestyle. Having become a widow at an early age, she finds happiness in giving all her spiritual strength to those around her. However, a new neighbor, Norman Baker, makes Sarah wonder whether she can feel like a full-fledged woman without male affection. Norman is also lonely, and his fate is just as difficult as Sarah's. Does she have the devotion he needs and the love he desperately seeks? If he starts dating Sarah, will this make him warmer, more humane? And can she teach him to love?
