I've never read this book. I wonder if both women were able to write outside their personal experiences because that's what they longed for.

Your post inspired me to read this book. I'm pretty sure now that I had read it sometime in the distant past. Some books don't change too much if you read them both as a child and as an adult...this one isn't one of those! Thanks for bringing it back to mind.

I'm going to try to find this one. I recently read Zochert's biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

And, depending on the assumptions you make, the divorce rate actually peaked 20-30 years ago, around 1981 to 1990.

*SOLD* Where can I buy a copy?! lol Seriously, this sounds wonderful--I'm thinking I need to read it in this season of my life, and then pass it to my soon-turning-16 year old daughter! Thanks for a great review!! ;)

Very interesting to get your thoughts on this. I got the impression from 'Becoming Laura Ingalls Wilder' that Rose basically stole her mother's experience and wrote it into this book before LIW had completed her series of books. It kind of biased me against it, but you make it sound intriguing in its own right!

Well, sounds like it could be pretty good...especi...

Well, sounds like it could be pretty good...especially if it's remotely romance-y yet still Carrie-approved. hahaha!
On the hard work thing...Amen sister!

As I started reading your review, I thought, "Wow, I'm surprised this came from Rose." I can't remember if I read any of her books, but I did read a biography of her and was disappointed that her views were so different from her mother's. But evidently she did see enough of a good marriage somewhere to be able to chronicle it.

I thought, the last time I read LIW's The Long Winter, that I don't know if modern folks could survive a situation like that. Not only are we used to all our conveniences, but people haven't been trained to stick anything out. This book sounds like it evoked similar thoughts.

Sounds like another to add to my list. I've al...

Sounds like another to add to my list. I've always wanted to read Rose's books given as she is one of my favorite couple's daughter. Have you read The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman?

I think I need to check her out! I loved all your...

I think I need to check her out! I loved all your thoughts. It sounds like Laura's daughter was able to write a good book...

This is one I plan to read for the LIW challenge, so I'll wait and read your review. :-)
