Selina Peake, the daughter of a gambler, becomes a schoolteacher in a Dutch farming community near Chicago, marries a stolid farmer and, after his death, works the poor land herself, growing vegetables and selling them at the Chicago market, to give her son Dirk, whom she calls 'So Big', a better life.
