Plot Summary

Grace Caldwell, a young Pennsylvania newspaper heiress living with her widowed mother, has trouble restraining herself when it comes to the amorous attentions of young men. As word starts to spread about her behavior, Grace becomes a major source of heartache for her mother and a big source of concern to her brother Brock. One evening, at a Christmas party, Grace meets gentleman farmer Sidney Tate. They fall in love and he asks her to marry him. Grace accepts, but only after making clear that she isn't proud of some things in her past. Sidney is taken aback by Grace's candid admission, but still wants to marry her. Grace promises to be faithful to Sidney; it's a promise she has every intention of keeping, until a former casual acquaintance, Roger Bannon, re-enters her life. Written by Eugene Kim

Trivia The on-screen epilogue is taken from Alexander Pope's "Epistle II --- To a Lady --- Of the Characters of Women" (1735): "Wise Wretch! with Pleasures too refin'd to please, With too much Spirit to be e'er at ease, With too much Quickness ever to be taught, With too much Thinking to have common Thought: You purchase Pain with all that Joy can give, And die of nothing but a Rage to live."

Quotes Grace Caldwell: I thought I loved him, and then I found I could feel the same way about someone else, someone different.
Brock Caldwell: Grace, that isn't love.
Grace Caldwell: No. But it's being wanted and needed and held close. It's almost love.
Brock Caldwell: "Almost love"? You don't have to settle for that.
Grace Caldwell: I'm not settling.
Brock Caldwell: I just don't get this. You talk like a girl who's got nothing else in her life, who nobody cares about ...
Grace Caldwell: No ...
Brock Caldwell: Well, that's the way it sounds --
Grace Caldwell: I don't care how it sounds. When I feel that way, I can't think of anything else. Doesn't matter who I am or what I'm supposed to be. Nothing matters. I can't help it.
