Rough Road Home from the 50's would make great 2000 movie

After death of her husband, woman is left with a large family to raise by herself. She moves to an old Vermont farm and goes into dairy farming - against all odds. One of my favorite books - great reading even though its over 40 years old. I will re-read it again.
