This story was authorized by the Little House Heritage Trust. It is the âLittle House on the Prairieâ book in Laura Ingalls Wilder series for children, but from Ma's point of view. As a child I read that series again and again and again and again⦠Well you get the picture. I was a little hesitant about reading this but I was pleasantly surprised. It was done with real authenticity. Caroline was pretty much as I imagined her to be. She was constantly aware of how her manner affected Mary and Laura, always wanting to set a good example. She never wanted them to see her cry and barely even smile or laugh. It must have been very hard work, internalizing all her feelings like that. In the beginning they set out for Kansas with Mary and Laura. Caroline is pregnant with Carrie. Can you imagine that kind of trip while being pregnant? There are hardships and there are times to sing and be happy. There is also some discreet sex in it! I loved the book and highly recommend it.
