Eventually to be found. Through a multitude of amazing characters, that couldn’t be any different, the reader gets to know life aboard the homesteaders and the hopes and dreams of their inhabitants. Each character is presented with a struggle that they need to overcome in order for them to find their place in life or achieve a, for them, very important goal.
