Miller the miller in a tale of love and loss
A long tale follows Miller the miller, a silent rough-hewn man, who shelters a bitter heart from women. His nephew Ike grows to manhood, and love enters via Ruth Bowne, Miss Craig, and the Craig family. Miller’s stubborn antiwoman stance softens after a hospitality filled visit and a wedding plan emerges, leaving Miller transformed into a happier, kinder man in a cottage with Ike and Ruthie nearby. Numerous village scenes and family dynamics unfold revealing small-town life and the consequences of guarded hearts.
