Small-town prosecuting attorney Forrest Bedford must raise his three children after his wife is institutionalized; moody high school athlete Nathan, precocious 13-year-old Francie and troubled 6-year-old John Morgan. Two women also challenge the conservative attorney's prejudices: Lilly Harper, a black housekeeper who speaks her mind and Christina LeKatzis, a defense attorney with a romantic interest in Forrest.

The Bedfords lived, love and grew as a family as they faced an uncertain future in this thought-provoking and heartwarming drama that originally aired on NBC.
