In this sequel to The Two Ruths, we observe how this closeted lesbian couple moves through the 1960s and more tolerant 1970s, although for employment purposes, they must remain closeted. Their relationship grows and deepens as they face some very difficult times, still knowing they were meant to be together. With humor, courage, and this belief their relationship was destined to be, their life together is something to admire, whether gay or straight.

In 1950, after her father passes away, Ruthie Stein knows she will continue to take care of their family's dairy farm while also looking after her mother. But when her mother falls and breaks her hip less than two years later, Ruthie soon finds she cannot get by on her own. Her neighbors, the Packers, recommend that their cousin Ruth, who is single and unemployed, come and assist Ruthie with her mother in exchange for room, board, and a small amount of money. The two women soon become close friends and then discover that their relationship goes even deeper than friendship.
