In Minnesota in 1911, Nilda Carlson is torn between society
life in the city of Blackduck and spending time with her
family back home on the farm. Her employer, Mrs.
Schoenleber, gives her more and more responsibility and
experience, including recommending new opportunities for her
philanthropy. Still new to America herself, Nilda focuses on
the area's immigrant community, but she'll have to fight to
get her ideas accepted by the locals and donors alike.
In the meantime, one of her greatest joys is her weekly
piano lesson with the handsome schoolteacher, Fritz. But
just as Nilda is beginning to realize she has feelings for
him, a stylish, affluent young woman moves to Blackduck and
monopolizes Fritz's attention. With her humble background,
how can Nilda hope to compete with such a sophisticated beauty?
