Rachel and her husband, Isaac, hope that claiming land in South Dakota will provide opportunities that would never have existed for African Americans back East. As the incredibly grueling conditions take their toll, however, the couple begin to disagree about what's truly best for their family. An engrossing tale of grit and determination. (LJ 6/15/10)
