Experience the world of Rachel Calof, a Jewish bride determined to make a new life as a homesteader. The audience follows Rachel’s touching story as she emigrates from Russia to Devil’s Lake, North Dakota in 1894, crossing the ocean to marry a man she has never met. For four years, Rachel and her husband shared a 12' x 14' shack with her in-laws, her husband’s brother, wife and children, two dozen chickens – and a cow. Rachel gave birth to nine children, all of whom survived. Their descendants are proof of her triumph over adversity.
