Laura lives in the little house with her pa, her ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their dog, Jack.

And every night Laura and her family are...

When a drought tests the commitment of a mail-order bride from Maine to her new home on the prairie, her stepchildren hope they will be able to remain a family.
