When Emily and her mother return to her grandmother's farm following her grandmother's funeral, Emily discovers that a large rock on the property is a doorway through which she can travel back to meet Emma, the young daughter of Scottish settlers on this same farm. Using a pebble given her by Emma, Emily visits the 1890s homestead and learns a great deal about the ingenuity of prairie settlers. In turn, Emily shows Emma how plants native to the prairie can be used as healing medicines.
