The Long Winter Unabridged (Audio book)

America's Original Pioneer Girl
Meet Laura Ingalls, the little girl who would grow up to write the Little House books.
The first terrible storm comes to the barren prairie in October. Then it snows almost without stopping until April. Snow has reached the rooftops, and no trains can get through with food or coal. The people of De Smet are starving, including Laura's family, who wonder how they're going to make it through this terrible winter. It is young Almanzo Wilder who finally understands what needs to be done. He must try to save the town, even if it means risking his own life.
The Long Winter is the sixth book in the Laura Years series.
