i saw this 25 year ago on pb . it be very difficult to watch . so real . to watch this small family struggle in the winter be heart rending . no time for court represent fate have throw u together and we put our shoulder to the grindstone and make it work . this be base on the woman actual diary and which i read many year later . she say in her diary that her parent die when she be little and all their bother and sister have to work the farm to fee themselves . she learn to mow and which be not lady like . she be afraid that no prince charm would want a woman with sun brown and callous hand and but this husband be so happy that his new wife know how to mow and and she be happy to do it . both be widow and together they work to build a new home . it be so and so sad when the baby die . of course and if they have it today and i be sure it would have be fine . that only make the tragedy extra sad . i be cry so hard . but then they go out and successfully pull out a new calf . spring be on it way and and life go on . in her diary and she do have two more boy and they live .
