In 1873, quiet Mary Harrington's husband, drunk and violent, leaves their remote Nebraska homestead. She and her five-year-old child wait for him to return. But three months later, he is still gone. By then they are starving. They have no choice but to ride out into the frigid Nebraska winter, searching for help. They stumble into a struggling community of a handful of people. Mary squats in an abandoned building and begs for work at the Emigrant rooming house. Weeks go by; they have no food but that which Mary can steal from slop buckets and the unguarded rooming house’s cellar. A cook's job comes available. Mary can do it, but the law won't allow her to be paid without her husband's approval. So, in exchange for Mary's labor, the rooming house proprietor offers two bowls of food a day.Barely surviving, Mary and her son continue to hope for her husband to return. Some time later, he passes through, now a drover of longhorns. He raises his whip at her, spits, and turns away. She realizes, then, she can rely on no one but herself. Alone, she must find a way to survive, and care for her child. But in a hostile time when women are denied any rights, how can she? With determination, wile and grit, Mary will find a way, and in the short time she has, prove herself an intrepid mother and a woman of courage. Written in the rich and elegant tone of Willa Cather, “The Seasons of Doubt” describes the hardscrabble life and courage of a prairie mother to survive and raise her child.

Orphaned at fifteen in 1883, Ezekiel Harrington is forced from his home in remote Nebraska into the hands of strangers in Philadelphia. They steal what little he has and he flees their injustice. Only his drive and stubborn tenacity keep him from starving. Over time, ambition and a chance encounter with a childhood friend change the course of his life. The friend, Robert Henri, is now studying art at the academy. Henri introduces Ezekiel to his cadre of striving artists. Among them is a crude Bohemian woman of tremendous talent, a woman Ezekiel immediately despises. The connection with Henri leads Ezekiel on the outrageous and chancy path of becoming an art gallery owner. His business struggles until a request for portrait comes in from a member of Philadelphia's high society. The man insists the Bohemian woman artist will paint it and wants to use Ezekiel's gallery for the sittings. Ezekiel doesn't want her and her rough ways in his store until he hears the terms of the deal. It is on the shoulders of this unforgettable woman, that his fortunes begin to take a remarkable turn as he comes to see her and her talent as a way to solvency. But his feeling for her begins to fire him. He can't account the emotion that has come over him, emotions that thrust him on an intense and unexpected course until after a betrayal he realizes some ironic and existential truths.
