Papa decides to remain behind with other free-soil settlers to defend the town, so Charlie must drive the wagon back to the family&’s isolated claim by himself. At home, a different sort of storm is brewing; gray skies, bitter cold, and vicious winds warn that a prairie blizzard is coming, all while Charlie&’s new sibling is coming too—Momma is in labor.

Now he has to show he&’s grown-up enough to help Momma, his sisters, and his newborn baby brother survive in their tiny cabin in the snow.
