Jen and Tod Bean bring the family's six milking cows home daily, from their field. They'd rather swim and do other things than this job but change their tune, after they are horrified to discover their family's important source of income has disappeared. They are brave enough to search for them by themselves. Margaret Laurence is our beloved, award-winning, classic, adult author from Neepawa, Manitoba.
