Meade is a story from the late 1800s, where we meet Frances Kane, a strong and hardworking young woman, who is in charge of her family's rundown home while dealing with hard decisions from the past. The story is about being tough in the face of challenges, with some romance along the way, and touches on what was expected of women back then. It begins on a bright day in June with Frances working in the garden, showing how dedicated she is while worrying about her family's money problems. A twist arrives when her father shares news about "Fluff," a young girl who will be living with them, but this is followed by Frances reckoning with her old flame, Philip Arnold, returning to her life.
