A covered wagon train moves across the broad desolate landscape beneath a vast western sky.   One wagon breaks formation and forks off on its own trail.  As it does, we hear Missie LaHaye (Erin Cottrell) reading from a letter she's writing to her father (Dale Midkiff) about how, after two years of marriage, she and (her husband) Willie (Logan Bartholomew) are leaving the wagon train and heading out alone to set down roots on the land Willie purchased four years ago.  She writes he will be a grandfather soon, but she hasn’t told Willie she is expecting a baby because he has so much on his mind.  August isn’t a good time to set up a ranch, but she was able to get in a year of teaching before they joined the wagon train and the extra money will help with expenses.    more
