I was pretty obsessed with this #Prairie book when I was young in the 70s & also the tv movie/mini-series it inspired .

Written by Rose Wilder Lane (the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder), it tells the story of Molly & David Beaton, teenage newlyweds in the Dakota Territory during the 1870s & originally was titled Let the Hurricane Roar when it was first published in the 1930s. Pictured is the edition of the book I had.

I enjoying this series so much!!! It has been a long time since I have read this series. I love the stories about Rose, Laura, and Almanzo. I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

Really good! Hard to put down once you start reading it, this quiet yet powerful story of a young surprised me. Her strength and independence, her intelligence and grit. Loved hearing about these settlers in the territories, though the times were hard and heartbreaking in so many ways. I understand all the love for this book! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #roll100 @PuddleJumper

This was a sweet story about a girl who desperately wants to be grown up enough to help with things in her farming village, and finds that maybe she finally is. I was intrigued that this Canadian story was banned in the US in 1992 because people complained that the mother in the book was “neglectful”. I think it says a lot more about American culture than about this book.

A winter read-aloud with my two boys that was just lovely! Terpsichore and her family make a new home in Palmer, Alaska, after the Great Depression. A charming little story of a family connecting and building community in hopes to make this raw and unfamiliar land and life into their new home. 🌲 💙🏔

I liked this book even more than the first one, which was surprising, since one of my favorite characters didn't survive the first book. I enjoyed the new characters introduced in this sequel and loved their various relationships with the main character. My only problem was that the ending seemed extremely rushed.

So many people love this book, when that happens I usually end up disappointed because it doesn't live up to the hype. Not this time. I loved it!!
