Field of Dreams
...hey heard voices, which were telling them to build a baseball field. It’s going to take a ton of money, and also a lot of knowledge on how to go about doing it. It show how she believed in him when no one else would listen. She stuck by her husband like a wife is supposed to do, and gave him support when needed.
