A tar paper shack sits on 160 acres of partially cultivated land. Beside the shack stands a solitary woman, surveying the land she has yet to till. In five years she can own this land…if she can make it productive. And if she can outlast the acts of nature, the violent intruders, and jealous homesteader wives who threaten her claim.
Inspired by the true stories of brave, single women who claimed frontier land as part of Abraham Lincoln’s Homestead Act of 1864. Follow the stories of five single women fighting for A Life of Their Own: pragmatic Mirna, scintillating Sophie, bright Nora, bewildered Lizzie, and enigmatic Mrs. Andersson. Will they be able to prove up their land? Can they thrive?
