Page "Everwood" Paragraph 3

The series begins with the arrival of Dr. Andrew " Andy " Brown ( Treat Williams ), a widower who leaves his successful job as a top Manhattan neurosurgeon to live in a small Colorado town, bringing his 9-year-old daughter Delia ( Vivien Cardone ) and 15-year-old son Ephram ( Gregory Smith ) with him.

He chooses the town of Everwood because his late wife had told him of her emotional attachment to the town.

Many of the story lines revolve around settling into a new town, dealing with the death of Julia ( the mother and wife of the family ) and the growing relationship between Andy and his son, who did not interact much in New York, due to the demands of Andy's job.

Andy at first finds some conflict with Dr. Harold Abbott ( Tom Amandes ), with whom his professional opinions differ.

However, Harold's cranky demeanor and Andy's passive, cheerful attitude prove to mesh well and the two begin a friendly rivalry.

Ephram continually struggles with his emerging adolescence, his studies as a classical pianist, and his crush on Amy ( Emily VanCamp ), Harold's daughter.
