Revelation
Elizabeth “Liz” Brundy lives in the Old West as a midwife who can hear but is mute, communicating through sign language. She shares a quiet, tense life with her husband Eli and their two children, Matthew (Eli’s son from a previous marriage) and Samantha, called Sam. The arrival of a new preacher, known simply as “The Reverend,” unsettles Liz the moment she hears his voice; there is something terrifying about his presence that she cannot ignore. When a difficult birth arrives, Liz faces a gut-wrenching choice: deliver the baby safely and risk the mother’s life, or euthanize the baby to save the mother. She chooses the latter, a decision she keeps to herself, and the consequences ripple through the family.
