A widowed mother must provide for her family and learn to survive in a competitive mining community. Her only asset is her charming Victorian home and in a short time it is transformed into a boarding house for single miners. Although Brenna is unskilled at managing a house full of men, she quickly embraces her new identity. Caught up in the struggles of day to day living, this once privileged white woman opens her eyes to the suffering and bigotry surrounding the working class. When she falls in love with a man some would consider "beneath her," she must decide to follow the rules of society or follow her heart. Confused, hurt and rejected by her family, the nightbird's song reminds Brenna that we are strengthened by the struggles we survive.
