Synopsis: | As American as wanderlust and rebellion, PRAIRIE is the story of one family's adventures during the country's massive land give-away that was Homesteading. It is the story of how a people poor and uprooted, persevered by fighting the emptiness of their larder with a generosity of spirit. When a promise of free land lured them to the unyielding sod, homesteaders relied on their wit and their will in a battle to stay alive and stay together. Out on that endless prairie, one girl embodies the pioneer spirit by refusing to bow to the forces of conformity and despair. Eventually, the spirited Laura must sacrifice the freedom she so cherishes to protect the family she loves. | |||||
