The local sheriff and doctor both respond and eventually discover that the man has no memory of who he is or where he is from. As Rob recovers from his injuries he begins to work on the farm with the others, proving that he is no stranger to hard work. He is a quick learner and not afraid to pitch in. As time goes on, his memory continues to evade him, except for odd impressions. As a thank-you to the Riley family for everything they have done for him, he decides to use the money the sheriff found to do some day-trading in the stock market and try get enough money to do a few things for the family. The first thing he does is talk to Jesse, the son, about getting a computer so Rob can do the day-trading, and to use Jesse's bank account to build the money. Jesse agrees on the pretext of taking on-line college classes, which he is going to do. Rob gets a computer catalogue and together he and Jesse choose the system to buy. Rob also buys a program that Jim can use to track the dairy herd and expenses on the farm. As soon as the computer arrives, they get it set up and Rob immediately starts the day-trading. He seems to know what he is doing, because he makes a steady profit at it.He continues to work of the farm and build the family's funds by daytrading. Slowly he finds he is developing feelings for the daughter, Rachel. When his memory returns, will he continue to fall in love with Rachel, or will he return to a woman who claims to be his fiancee?
