Dirty House on the Prairie 3

Jake, Annabelle, and Cora have been living in their found homestead for a year now. Things have been going wonderfully and the kids have headed east to get the news and trade their produce and livestock for industrial materials they can't make themselves. Cora is left at the homestead all alone and on the day she expected her kids back, she gets four unexpected visitors instead. What happens? Who survives? Will the kids have to make their way alone? Will there even be a homestead to come back to? I'll say only this: the saga of this pioneer family is far from over and there is plenty of dirty fun to come but you'll have to read it to find out exactly how things play out for them. This one gets a little dark a but I had fun writing it. I hope you enjoy it!
