These are sincere and fascinating stories about a family that has to either live “in a hole like rabbits,” or “fight wheels of fire,” locusts, wolves, get along with mysterious Indians, and even build a house themselves. And this is not at all easy if there are three little girls, a mother and only one man in the family - the father. But he can do everything: cast bullets, set up a stove, smoke meat and play the violin, and most importantly, love his mother, his dear girls and look to the future without despondency.
