On The Banks of Plum Creek

On the Banks of Plum Creek is the story of a young girl, her family, and the rippling wilderness that rules their hearts and whispers them homeward.  Set in 1874, seven year old Laura Ingalls and her family leave their prairie home by covered wagon to follow their dreams of prosperity within the folds of the vast frontiers of Minnesota.  There, nestled along the banks of Plum Creek awaits the home where they will experience life, love, and both the triumphs and challenges known only to pioneers.  Despite hardships that strain their livelihood, however, the Ingalls remain steadfast and discover prosperity far greater than material wealth--the bountiful reward of family.
