NOTES On a farm in Wisconsin a mother discovers she is dying of

cancer.

Patricia Roc plays woman with acute meloblastic leukemia if

heard right. At first she rejects the diagnosis. And she is told

that chemotherapy won't make that much difference.

Just as she learns she is going to die her son is planning to

leave home and marry. He also doesn't get on with his

overbearing father. The father we learn got married for

practical reasons.

The son decides to stay and things are to some extent

resolved.

Much of the story is about dairy farming in Wisconsin.
