The movie is inspired by this book about the life and times of Paediatrician, Dr. Olson Huff

This song sums up the movie...something like that
There is a woman.  There is a man.  They meet. Is this their love story?  Well, I don't know what the future would bring, but this movie is more about grieving, coping, the fear of the unknown, friendships, adjusting, family life, and healing.  It really wouldn't be right if the story focuses on the two of them, but there were sweet moments between them.
It's too soon for the guy anyway.  His wife had just died and it's not right for him to get back in the saddle again.
The story, just like the alternate title, is about the simple things.  Dr. Gibbs came from the big Windy City of Chicago and life in the very quaint North Carolina town is a bit of a shock for him, but he and his son learn how to appreciate a town like that.
Nate also meets new friends, but it wasn't easy at first.  Hanging out with them made him love adventure, and again, the simple things.
It also took time for the townsfolk to accept him.  They don't believe in doctors too much.  They think they won't need him, but later on they would find out they do.
Sure, not everyone could be saved, because Doctors are merely instruments of God and not gods themselves, but he was able to open their eyes because they opened his eyes first.
