In Heart of the Country, Faith and Luke Carraway have it all. Faith is a beautiful singer turned socialite while Luke is an up-and-coming successful businessman. After taking his inheritance from his father's stable business to invest in a successful hedge fund, he believes he is on the fast track as a rising young executive. When Luke is arrested for his alleged involvement in a Ponzi scheme, Faith is crushed and runs home to the farm and family she turned her back on years ago. Luke is forced to turn to his own family for help. Can two prodigals return to families they abandoned? Can a marriage survive betrayal?
