Perfect for fans of Little House on the Prairie: In the late 1800s, married couple Abbie and Will live as pioneers on the American frontier. Together they face the Nebraska plains, determined to build a house and a life for themselves. A charming classic that will appeal to listeners of all ages, read by an Earphones Award–winning narrator.

The classic story of Abbie and Will Deal—pioneers who left everything behind for a new life on America’s frontier.

Abbie Mackenzie dreamed of becoming a fine lady like her aristocratic grandmother, devoting herself to music and art. But at eighteen Abbie found a different dream, turning away from the promise of a comfortable life as a doctor’s wife to marry handsome, quiet Will Deal. Together, they eagerly accepted the challenge of homesteading in Nebraska territory, where the prairies stretched as far as the eye could see, and only the strongest survived for long.

For over 90 years, people have cherished Abbie’s story—an inspiring story of struggle against unexpected perils, of love, of the land she helped nurture, and the family she raised.
