Laura is left to fend for herself, her (patiently waiting to be born) child and a freshly planted orchard during an oppressive heatwave as Charles and Almanzo leave the area for work. With her "I can do it by myself" attitude, Laura tries to beat the heat but unfortunately mother nature has other plans. With everyone busy tending to their own crops to prevent failure, an unlikely hero steps forward to save the day: Willie Oleson. Six months plus two summers and one winter storm, is Laura ever going to give birth? Where did all the ice come from? What other books has Nancy read?

James manages to make a fool of himself while also alienating the newest kid to the Walnut Grove school all in the same breathe. In an attempt to turn a frown upside down, Charles invites James on a trip to Minneapolis. Things take an interesting turn when a stray/wild dog starts to tagalong and proves companionship comes in many different forms. How come Laura is acting like she's never worked with someone who has a stutter? When will the kids of the W.G. realize running away doesn't solve anything? Who was in the bear suit this time?

It's Christmas Eve at Plum Creek and everyone is back home for the holidays....EVERYONE: Mary and Adam, Laura and Almanzo, Hester Sue, Charles and Caroline and the rest of the kids ( of which there are five) . And what started as a joyous holiday celebration soon turns into a night of sharing stories from Christmas past while trying to keep the fire from going out. Why is no one worried about the ten feet of snow that has piled up over night? How come we get no update about Mary's New York life? How is the rest of Walnut Grove handling this blizzard compared to the last one?
