Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the first half of a two-part story (originally telecast as a single two-hour episode), an improperly stacked pile of logs causes Elizabeth (Kami Cotler) to break both her legs. When the doctor warns that Elizabeth may never walk again, two of her brothers, each convinced that he alone is at fault, are overcome with guilt. Meanwhile, the Baldwin sisters (Helen Kleeb, Mary Jackson) and Aimee Godsey (Rachel Longaker) approach the challenge of Elizabeth's recuperation in uniquely different ways.
