Sally Field, James Garner, Dennis Burkley, Corey Haim

Emma Moriarty, a recently divorced mother, moves to a small town in Arizona with her young son, Jake, to start a new life. She opens a small, struggling horse ranch and tries to make ends meet. Emma meets Murphy Jones, the town's local pharmacist, who is kind, charming, and a bit of a loner. Murphy is well-liked in the community, but he keeps to himself and has a reputation for being a bit of a ladies' man. Despite the warnings from her friends, Emma begins to form a close friendship with Murphy, who helps her with the ranch and offers emotional support. As they spend more time together, their friendship turns into a budding romance, much to the disapproval of the town's gossips. Meanwhile, Emma's ex-husband, Bobby Jack, tries to win her back and causes trouble for Emma and Murphy. Despite the challenges they face, Emma and Murphy's relationship deepens, and they find strength in each other. However, their age difference and the disapproval of the town's residents continue to test their love. When a wealthy, sophisticated lawyer from the city expresses interest in Emma, she is torn between her growing feelings for Murphy and the promise of a more secure future. In the end, Emma must make a difficult choice between following her heart or choosing a safer path. Murphy, on the other hand, must confront his fear of commitment and open up to the possibility of a lasting relationship. As they navigate the complexities of love and life, Emma and Murphy learn valuable lessons about trust, forgiveness, and the courage to embrace new beginnings.
