Jacob lost his wife during a very difficult birth of their second child, Caleb. It has been several years since this terrible accident, and Jacob has decided that his children need a mother. He has also decided that it might not be so bad for him to have a new wife. Jacob has put an ad in the paper looking for a new wife and mother.
After a few weeks of waiting, Jacob receives a reply. Caleb, his son, is very excited. Anna, his daughter, is a little upset over the idea of someone trying to replace her mother. Jacob doesn’t really show any emotion at all. It is hard to tell at this point how things will go for them.
