The Seasons of Doubt
On the Nebraska prairie of 1873, Mary Harrington's husband abandons her and their five-year-old son. Mary does not know if her husband is alive or dead, or if he will ever return. Three months later, she has run out of food and fuel. Their sod house is freezing. Desperate, they must desert their homestead and set out for help in the midst of a prairie winter. Survival lies in Mary's hands. With such bleak prospects, she fears she hasn't the strength or ability to do this alone. They must make it. But how?

His wife and the community have written her off as a bad seed, but having grown up with a schizophrenic mother and abusive stepfather, Patty is a survivor. Jack quietly takes it on himself to find her. His search eventually leads him to the underbelly of a drug-fueled world of prostitution and ruined youth.
