Jane and Gilbert Taylor each face turning points which force the couple in a new direction

The Taylors are in their 50s when they face major turning points: a new career beckons for Jane, Gilbert can no longer walk. A mountain view has a remarkable effect on the couple.

It’s 2013 when Gilbert and Jane both have to face a major transformative moment. Jane has been studying for a much longed-for PhD and a new exciting career is on the horizon.
