However, once she is transported into the past a second time, her predicament becomes frighteningly real when she becomes trapped as a member of a Dutch immigrant family in Neerlandia, who had followed the promise of a new land only to find themselves battling poverty in the Dutch farming community northwest of Edmonton.
