A heartwarming holiday tale set on Christmas Eve high in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in 1850, with the love of a child at its center and an unlikely romance as its driving force. This Gold Rush drama is a love-letter to the Mother Lode, an ode to the joys of rural living. With a touching, family-friendly plot, the show is sure to offer up several laughs and a glimpse at the less commercial Christmases of days gone by. It's also a sweet look at how love, sacrifice and change can expand one's world and life.

Tood, Weetsie and Sybill are brides in rural Louisiana in 1943. Each married a Cliffert brother. The men are off to war and a local news story about these young wives keeping the home fires burning intrigues Henry Luce. He decides that they belong on the cover Life Magazine and assigns Kate Miller to the story. She has been covering the war in Europe and, though she views doing a "women's piece" as a career set back, she accepts because it will be her first cover story. Kate spends a week with the Cliffert women and her haughty urban attitude gives way to sympathy as she begins to understand them while coming face to face with her own powerlessness in a man's world. Filled with charm and fun, The Cover of Life is a deeply affecting story about the struggle for self worth.

Think "Steel Magnolias" set in 1942

"The kind of roles actresses' dream of. Robinson's writing has a warm, rural flavor and [the] conflicts are laced with a poignant urgency." - Variety

"Stirring and funny." - Teaneck Daily Record.
