Billie’s mother passed during her pregnancy. Now, her daughter is devoted to curing eclampsia, the disease that killed her. This means trading her slow paced, pastoral life in Yorkshire for a biochemical doctorate in London. But when her father becomes ill himself, she must divert her endeavors at saving elsewhere: her own family's cow farm. Bowing out of her courtship of Joely Chevalier, French pharmacologist and Billie’s personal hero slash paramour, she leaves for the English countryside. But the changeover from city living to a provincial one is less than flush. She is met with a dairy farm in dire straits. Battling old fashioned politics, a dairy crisis that has nearly bankrupted them, and a local veterinarian that more or less hates her, can Billie salvage the family business, the cows, and herself?
