The First Four Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder
3.0

This is the end of the Little House series. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. This was published posthumously and I don’t think this is the story that LIW would have wanted to tell. She’s now married to Almanzo and living as a farmer’s wife on the prairie. All of the love of the prairie is gone – she’s focused on paying the bills and keeping house. Of course, she’s an adult and a parent now, so it makes sense that her perspective has changed, but I don’t think Laura would have wanted to lose the spark of the prairie. I’m glad I got to read it, but it’s certainly not going down as a favorite in the series.
