The Prairie Mother

"The Prairie Mother" by Arthur Stringer is a story about a woman's hard life as a mother and wife on the prairies in the early 1900s. The book tells about Tabbie, raising her family and dealing with struggles, especially during those times when her husband is having a hard time. The book starts with Tabbie giving birth to twins, dealing with happiness, and fear since her Duncan is unable to attend. Living far from everything, and her husband's ambitions, tests her strength. When Duncan's cousin shows up, and she deals with money problems, she has to double down. It's about trying hard and never giving up, building a good life for her kids, and showing how strong she is.
