A Prairie Mother’s Struggle to Hold a Family Together

Set against the years following the First World War and the upheaval of 1929, Dione traces a prairie woman’s passage from daughter of a single mother to mother of six herself. When she must support her children alone, her teaching credentials become central to the family’s survival, requiring an upgrade as she confronts practical and personal challenges. The book frames motherhood through persistence, faith, love, and the everyday work of preserving a united household. Family values are presented not as abstractions but as lessons shaped and passed on within the pressures of family life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in motherhood and single-parent family stories
  • Those drawn to prairie-set historical family narratives
  • Readers interested in themes of faith, resilience, and family values
