Laura Ingalls Wilder is such a staple of American literature and, spending most of my life in Minnesota, her stories helped shape my childhood. I was eager to read this new biography to glean more insights into her life. The first portion of the book builds on her "Little House" series and shares in-depth accounts of life for the Ingalls family during those years. The latter portion of the book highlights Laura's later years and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane. It was an eye-opening book that illuminated the challenges that faced Laura and her family throughout her life. Highly recommended!

I grew up reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder series, multiple times. I saw this book, and I was excited to read more about her. It is not written in that same style. It has lots of historical facts and big words. More about what was happening around that same time, than what was happening to her.
