Overview of Sweet Home Alaska

In 1934, Terpsichore is eager to follow in Laura Ingalls Wilder's footsteps—but first, she must convince her reluctant mother. When her family joins President Roosevelt's Palmer Colony project, they leave Wisconsin for a rough, tent-filled town in Alaska. Despite the hardships, Terpsichore tackles the wilderness with determination, helping her family settle in. Now, she just needs a clever plan—and all her "Farmer Boy" skills—to show her mother that Alaska can truly be home.
