Cultivating Hope: Homesteading on the Great Plains, 1869-1886
Planting Dreams Series, Book 2

Can you imagine being isolated in the middle of treeless grassland with only a dirt roof over your head? Having to feed your children with whatever wild plants or animals you could find living on the prairie?

Sweating to plow the sod, plant the seed, cultivate the cropâ€”only to lose it all by a hailstorm right before you harvest it?

This second book in the Planting Dreams series portrays Swedish immigrant Charlotta Johnson as she and her husband build a farmstead on the Kansas prairie.

This family faced countless challenges as they homestead on Americaâ€™s Great Plains during the 1800's. Years of hard work develop the land and improve the quality of life for her family- but not with a price.

Readers compare Hubalekâ€™s books as a combination of Laura Ingalls Wilderâ€™s â€œLittle House on the Prairieâ€ books, â€œThe Emigrantsâ€ series by Vilhelm Moberg, and a Willa Cather novel.
