About this audiobook

Selina Peake arrives in the Illinois prairie as a young schoolteacher with a head full of books and an unshakeable belief that life should be beautiful. When hardship forces her onto the farm, she doesn't break — she plants, harvests, and builds a life through sheer force of will.
