Finally got to read it. Took him 5 years of research. I‘ve watched old interviews. My brother has a copy of the 1968 movie .👏👏. It‘s the one I want to watch as it‘s the one Truman had complete control of. Lots of old stuff about it all on YouTube and Google. Excellent writing. Glad I finally got to read it. My reading slow at the moment. Weather here is so nice . I‘ve been out and about a lot.

I loved this book- couldn‘t put it down. As a woman, I related to the main character. It also reminded me of some important life lessons- we all mess up but you have to learn to forgive yourself and keep going, it‘s not too late to make a change, and it‘s important to let people in. Cliques perhaps but truths nonetheless. Iykyk.

This book took me back to junior high. Of course, it‘s a mature point of view. Beautifully written. I felt that it maintained the spirit and integrity of the Little House story perfectly in it‘s simplicity. A must read for Little House lovers.

Just. Wow. Compiled journal entries and stories from the Kansas frontier, from the first settlers in mid 19th century through the civil war and women‘s suffrage. There are heartwarming tales of courage, family, and neighbors helping neighbors, as well as tales of fear and the horrors of life tens of miles away from the nearest neighbor. The isolation broke some women but empowered others. Makes me ever more grateful for modern creature comforts.
