They Laughed When the Widow Married the Old Hermit — He Rode Her to a House on the Hill

Ogallala, Nebraska, 1876. Widow Ruth Ellison works her late husband's little farm all alone, while her greedy brother-in-law schemes to take it and his proud wife turns the church ladies against her. The only person who is ever kind to her is Silas Thorne, the gray-bearded hermit who lives in a dugout by the creek and wears the same old buckskin coat in every season. The whole town laughs at him. But Silas mends her fences in the night, pulls her cow from the mud, and saves her corn from a prairie fire. When a secret bank loan threatens to take her farm, Ruth makes a choice nobody expects. She marries the old hermit, and the whole town laughs on the church steps. Then his rattling wagon turns away from the creek and starts up the long road to the mysterious new house on the hill.
