Storyline
Emma is a divorced woman with a teen aged boy who moves into a small town and tries to make a go of a horse ranch. Murphey is the town druggist who steers business her way. Things are going along predictably until her ex husband shows up, needing a place to stay. The three of them form an intricate circle, Emma's son liking Murphey, but desperately wanting his father back. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

Trivia
The Lunch Counter is in Florence, Arizona. It is in the General Store about 1 block south of the movie location. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: Murphy uses the same fountain dispenser for Coke (when Emma wanted a lemon coke), water (when Emma wanted Excedrin and water) and club soda (when Emma wanted a chocolate soda) and always pulls the handle toward himself. See more »Quotes
