Publisher's Summary
Laura Ingalls Wilder is beginning life with her new husband, Almanzo, in their own little house. Laura is a young pioneer wife now and must work hard with Almanzo, farming the land around their home on the South Dakota prairie. Soon their baby daughter, Rose, is born, and the young family must face the hardships and triumphs encountered by so many American pioneers.
And so Laura Ingalls Wilder's adventure as a little pioneer girl ends, and her new life as a pioneer wife and mother begins. The nine Little House books have been cherished by generations of readers and listeners as both a unique glimpse into America's frontier past and a heartwarming, unforgettable story.

First Draft
This was a first draft that Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote, it is not fleshed out like her other books. It was published long after her death and is not in the same vain as her other books. I wish they had never published and left it at book eight.
The other eight books are very enjoyable and worthwhile. The narration was great and enjoyable.

Short but packed
This is such a short book, but packed with so many details. It is heartbreaking, but also shows strength, courage, and a faith in what God will do. I never really knew how strong Laura Ingalls Wilder was until going through these books. It honestly leaves me wanting to know more.

not my favorite of her books
In my opinion this book feels forced like her heart wasn't in it at all. The other books are so alive and a joy to read. NOT this one... although it is a still interesting read. compared to her other works though it was a disappointment.

Always good
This book is a bit darker than the other books in the series but life isn't always rainbows. This is my favorite of the series. It seems to reflect the gritty reality of Laura and Manly's tribulations.

I would totally recommend this for a young kids. It’s a great series. I love the way it’s written, and the narrator is awesome. I also love who played Pa’s fiddle in the last book.
