About this listen

The Prairie Mother is a powerful tale of love, endurance, and survival set against the raw and untamed frontier. Tabbie, a spirited and determined woman, finds herself at a crossroads as she navigates the joys and burdens of motherhood while grappling with the emotional distance of her ambitious husband, Duncan. When she gives birth to twins—a boy and a girl—her world is forever changed, filled with both profound wonder and the weight of overwhelming responsibility.

But life on the prairie is unforgiving. Isolated and burdened by financial struggles, Tabbie must face the loneliness of raising three children in a land that demands strength at every turn. Just as she begins to find her footing, an unexpected visitor—Duncan’s aristocratic cousin, Lady Alicia—arrives, bringing tension and uncertainty into their already precarious existence. With each passing season, Tabbie is tested by love, loss, and the relentless forces of nature, pushing her to the limits of her resilience.

Richly emotional and deeply moving, The Prairie Mother is a timeless story of courage, sacrifice, and the fierce determination of a woman fighting to build a life for her family in a world where survival is never guaranteed.
