- Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning best-selling novel, 'A Thousand Acres' follows the saga of the Cook family, headed by the indomitable patriarch, Larry Cook. Cook's kingdom is a fertile farm that spans 1,000 acres, but the seeds of its destruction are sown when he impulsively decides to distribute it among his three daughters, Ginny, Rose and Caroline.
