Young pioneers' Christmas

"A group of neighbors stick together through thick and thin on the Dakota plains and gather for the most memorable of all Christmas celebrations. Includes bonus CD, Christmas at the Fireside."
"In this Christmas story, Molly and David Beaton, grieving over the recent death of their only son, find new meaning in the words, courage and determination, when they try to help a friend whose claim is threatened by a railroad company. They learn that sharing both the good and the bad can bring contentment. This story teaches that the real spirit of giving is in bringing joy to others."@en
"A realistic picture of life on the prairie during the late 19th century, combined with a gentle lession of the rewards of sacrificing and giving."@en
"This delightful program opens with Molly Beaton, a pioneer wife, reminiscing to herself about the prior day's events--Christmas Day, 1874. Feeling both secure and thankful in her sod house, Molly begins a flashback narrative which starts in June of that year. She and her husband David buried their only child who was consumed by "the fever." Now they must struggle through their hardships of the death of their child, and being one of the few settlers in the area. Through the support of their very distant neighbors, Molly and David get on with their lives. In turn, they help their neighbors through their own struggles and share a Christmas dinner complete with homemade decorations and very special presents."@en
