Missie and Willie are a devoted couple who have been together for some time when they discover that they are expecting a child. While they are thrilled about the prospect of starting a family together, they also realize that this new development will mean major changes in their lives. They have been living in the prairie home of Missie's parents, but now they must strike out on their own and make a new home for themselves.
Together, Missie and Willie decide to head west in a covered wagon, searching for new opportunities and a place where they can start a family of their own. Along the way, they face many challenges, including harsh weather conditions and encounters with dangerous animals. Despite these setbacks, they remain optimistic and determined, and they eventually find a spot in the wilderness where they can build a new home together.
As they settle into their new homestead, Missie and Willie face new challenges and opportunities. They must adapt to the demands of living in a new environment, growing their own food, and facing the dangers that come with living in the wilderness. But they are also able to experience the joy and wonder of creating a new life together, and they cherish the time they spend together as a family.
Throughout it all, Missie is able to draw strength and support from her faith, which sustains her through the many challenges she faces on her journey. And as she faces the uncertainty of not knowing when she'll see her family again, she also learns to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and to find joy in the moments she shares with those she loves.
