This is a story about Europeans immigrating to homestead on the Canadian Prairies, and what a lonesome, lonesome life it was to what they had been accustomed to in the crowded villages in their home land.

It shows that if money was spent foolishly, it could soon disappear, even to the point where their children had to be put into homes. So many of those Orphanages in England in the 1800s were homes that used the children for labour purposes, but when these children were turned out into the world, most of them made out all right.

One thing that was always against them, was that they had no idea of love because they hadn't received any love in the Orphanages. They all knew how to work, and with those lonesome homesteaders and friendly neighbors, most of them made a name for themselves. Some were even well rewarded in the end.
