Words by Heart is set in a northern farming town in 1910. The town's only black family, recently arrived from the south, is treated with barely concealed contempt by the white farmers--and with outright hostility when the family's daughter (Fran Robinson) wins a Bible-verse contest. The only white resident to buck the prejudice is a feisty, self-made wealthy woman (Charlotte Rae) who hires the little girl and her father (Robert Hooks) to work on her farm.
