Summary

Ten-year-old Susie and her father love living on the South Dakota prairie with its vast, uninterrupted views of land and sky, but Susie's mother greatly misses their old life in Ohio. Awed and oppressed by the vast prairie, Susie's mother hasn't set foot outside the sod house in months. On a trip into town to file a claim for additional property, Susie scours the Mercantile for a treat to cheer Mama. But it will take the contagious optimism and confidence of a migrating Icelandic family to jolt Mama from her brooding and cajole her to embrace the prairie with her daughter's fresh enthusiasm
