Prologue:

"The symbol of family for all of us, this old house, remained the center of our lives even though we children had moved away. I was living in New York City, and Elizabeth was traveling abroad. All my other brothers and sisters made their homes within a few miles of Waltons Mountain. For me, coming home was remembering what was real and meaningful, even when outside events turned everything upside down, the way they did in November of 1963."

Synopsis:

Mary Ellen marries Jonesy but then discovers sheis unable to bear more children. Ben and Cindy welcome the birth of their 2nd child. Aimee Godsey has difficulties finding her place as she matures into a woman. The family celebrates Mother's Day.

Epilogue:

  "That Thanksgiving, with all its heartache and uncertanty stands out as one we will never forget. As far as I know, my mother and father never again talked of moving from the house where we'd all grown up. It still stands, generous in its love, filled with memories, and always ready to welcome us home."
