Why these tropes fit
Seth, raised by the Quinn family after a difficult childhood with his drug-addicted mother, returns to St. Christopher's on Maryland's Eastern Shore as a successful painter and reunites with his adoptive brothers, their wives, and their children in an extended, chaotic family home. He becomes drawn to Dru Whitcomb Banks, a newcomer who has opened a florist shop in the seaside town and who values her hard-won independence from her wealthy background, seeing in Seth a challenge she cannot resist.
