The Harvest

The daughter of Swedish immigrants, fifteen-year-old Annie Larsson must adjust to life on the prairie, the family living in a one-room log cabin. Tea is Annie's younger sister, while Johannes is only ten, and quite precocious.

In The Harvest, the farmers of Salina slowly recover from a devastating fire. Nearly back on their feet, the Larssons experience another setback after pappa injures himself plowing a field. Annie worries greatly that mother will want to move back to Sweden now, especially since there is no one to manage the farm and winter is fast-approaching. Coming to their aid, Sheriff Douglas arranges workers in a rather unconventional way. Despite the hardships and the uncertainty, Annie wishes to marry Garret Rafferty, having accepted his proposal, while her sister, Tea, adores the sheriff. If only they can convince mother to stay in America...
