Laura Ingalls, not yet sixteen, is now teaching school in a drafty shanty twelve miles from home. It's a terrifying job. most of the students are taller than she is, and she has to board all week with a hateful, crazy lady. Laura is miserable, but the money is needed to keep her blind sister, Mary, in school. And every Friday- in good or bad weather-Almanzo Wilder arrives in his sleigh, from across the desolate icy slough, to take her home to her family for the weekend. Could it be love?
