Early in the 1900s, a rural Indiana girl seeks to get an education and follow her dreams in spite of the obstacles that surround her. Elnora Comstock's fascination with nature feeds her desire to get an education, but her widowed mother calls her goal of attending high school a foolish dream. Elnora finds comfort in the intricate world of the Limberlost and her friendship with wealthy naturalist, Mrs. Porter. When unexpected taxes come due on the farm, Elnora's mother needs help bringing in the harvest. Elnora must give up school to save their home. As Elnora fights to rescue her dreams, she discovers a world of opportunity and learns truth behind her mother's anger and her own mysterious past. (official distributor synopsis)
