A super condensed version of the more "exciting" parts of Little House on the Prairie, On the Banks of Plum Creek, and the Long Winter. Molly and David act as stand-ins for Ma & Pa, who [I guess spoilers ahead if you've never read a single Little House book] marry in the Big Woods and move west to try their hand at farming. They take over a sod shanty on the prairie near a creek, have a baby named David John (though a few times in the book he's mistakenly called Charles John, so clearly the David character was originally Pa but Rose changed the names). They lose their crops to grasshoppers, and David goes east for work while Molly holds down the fort, battling wolves and finding a cow until David returns.
