She has to find a way to support her family, farm her land, and keep her homestead, a daunting task for a pioneer woman that was raised in the comfort of St. Louis. There are no conveniences on the Frontier; every day is a struggle for survival. The predator wolves are just as bad as the predatory people Katy is advised to advertise for a husband.
