The story of a young woman in the 1940's settling in the Oklahoma plains, during the time when women didn't work, but were expected to marry, have children, and take care of the home. At the same time, the government run lottery for land settlement in Oklahoma was taking place. The people taking part in the lottery build a small town from the ground up.. A look at what life was like before cars were common place, before air conditioning, before sprinkler systems, and fire trucks.
