Summary:

The story of pioneer writers Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill, who, with their husbands, leave England in 1832 to settle in Upper Canada. With little money and even less skill as farmers, the Moodies and Traills must learn to survive in this harsh new country. Despite illness and poverty, at times near starvation, the sisters never stop writing.
