Selina DeJong daughter of gambler Simeon grows up in Chicago during 1888. She becomes a schoolteacher at High Prairie near the city outskirts after her father is killed in a quarrel. Selina, nineteen and nearly destitute, meets Roelf Pool’s son Roelf and senses a shared love of beauty.
Selina endures a brutal start to teaching at the High Prairie schoolhouse. She braves six o’clock cold, dresses behind a kitchen stove, and battles ice and wind to reach class. The stove’s warmth becomes a tyrant shaping memory and life choices.
