NotesOn a farm in Wisconsin a mother discovers she is dying of cancer. Patricia Roc plays woman with acute meloblastic leukemia if I 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.
