A Danish couple with two children face harsh conditions on their
19th Century Nebraska prairie farm. Will they survive blizzards,
tornados, plagues of insects, arduous hauls for water, and long
journeys to town for farm and household supplies? Peter is stubborn
and contrary. Ellen Marie is sweet, congenial, and patient.
Neighbors, craftsmen, and pastor reach out to help the struggling
family. But Peter persists in his self-reliance. Will Peter ever
bring water indoors to supply their home? Can anyone, anything,
alter his course? Will he seize upon an opportunity provided by the
challenges he faces? This short, allegorical novel is amply
illustrated with color photos of prairie wildflowers, prairie
restoration efforts in Missouri, the author, the original 1953
Danish edition, and the author's handwritten manuscript. Sales
proceeds will help support prairie preservation and restoration
efforts of the Missouri Prairie Foundation.
