The Little House books, which chronicled the pioneer adventures of Laura Ingalls Wilder, are among the most beloved books in the American literary canon. Lesser known is the secret, concealed for decades, of how they came to be. Now, best-selling author Susan Wittig Albert reimagines the fascinating story of Laura's daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, an intrepid world traveler and writer who returned to her parents' Ozark farm, Rocky Ridge, in 1928. There she began a collaboration with her mother on the pioneer stories that would captivate generations of readers around the world.
Despite the books' success, Rose's involvement would remain a secret long after both women died. A vivid account of a great literary deception, A Wilder Rose is a spellbinding tale of a complicated mother-daughter relationship set against the brutal backdrop of the Great Depression.

Historia
Told from four-year-old Laura's point of view, this story begins in 1871 in a little log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. Laura lives in the little house with her pa, her ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their trusty dog, Jack. Pioneer life is sometimes hard for the family, since they must grow or catch all their own food as they get ready for the cold winter. But it is also exciting as Laura and her family celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring planting, bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town.

From the New York Times best-selling authors of America's First Daughter comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton - a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. In this haunting, moving, and beautifully written book, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza's story as it's never been told before - not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.

The mother-daughter partnership that produced the Little House books has fascinated scholars and readers alike. Now, John E. Miller, one of America’s leading authorities on Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane, combines analyses of both women to explore this collaborative process and shows how their books reflect the authors’ distinctive views of place, time, and culture. He also addresses two controversial issues: How much did Lane actually contribute to the writing of the Little House books, and what was Wilder’s real attitude toward American Indians?

"A long time ago, when all the grandfathers and grandmothers of today were little boys and little girls or very small babies, or perhaps not even born, Pa and Ma and Mary and Laura and Baby Carrie left their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin." So begins the first of a series of primarily autobiographical books for children that would give 20th century America a look at what it was like when the country was still young and the West was a largely empty, untamed wilderness.

Historia
In 1920, in small-town America, the ubiquitous dry goods store was usually owned by Jews and often referred to as "the Jew store". That's how Stella Suberman's father's store, Bronson's Low-Priced Store, in Concordia, Tennessee, was known locally. The Bronsons were the first Jews to ever live in that tiny town of one main street, one bank, one drugstore, one picture show, one feed and seed, one hardware, one barber shop, one beauty parlor, one blacksmith, and many Christian churches.

Historia
Widely hailed as a milestone in American literature, Sinclair Lewis' Main Street vividly describes a country on the verge of massive change, with traditional values being threatened by progress. The novel's heroine, Carol Milford, is a highly educated, ambitious woman who plans to join a newly enlightened society. But after marrying a small-town doctor, she finds herself trapped in the role of a dutiful wife. Carol's desires for social change conflict with the security of her comfortable married life, as she struggles to understand the cost of conformity...and rebellion. As relevant today as it was upon its 1920 publication, Main Street is both a masterful piece of writing and a fascinating microcosm of America's social evolution.

Although the faith of the Ingalls' family pervades books in the Little House series, the more specific details of Laura's faith have never been fully explored. It took extraordinary pluck for anyone to survive the harshness of frontier life - from the heartbreak of sudden crop losses to murderous storms to unrelenting loneliness.

Wait it out. I’m glad I did.
This was a difficult book for me, especially the beginning, as a Little House and Laura Ingalls Wilder lover. Because I am also an inveterate book-finisher, I stuck with the story even though I was offended and even angry with the first two chapters or so. I’m glad I waited it out and I can say that I loved the ending and that I am STILL a Laura Ingalls Wilder fan and have a much greater appreciation and interest in the works of Rose Wilder Lane.

Broke my heart, but loved it anyway.
Spoiler Alert
The story moves like fiction but is very much a biographical account of the life of Rose Wilder Lane. We get to see Laura from the Little House books as "Mama Bess"-- all grown up and bossing around her adult daughter. A far cry from the books and TV show. A fascinating read, particularly the epilogue. This book made me want to study Rose's work and who could ask more than that type of reaction?!

For Laura fans only, I think
It's hard to give a rating to this book. I really liked it, but it has some significant flaws. Long sections of historical context seem poorly integrated and dreadfully similar to research notes. The structure is clunky, moving back and forth between Rose narrating in first person as she experiences events and an omniscient third person as she tells the story to a young friend many years later. The performance, which makes plentiful use of accents and voices, is at times grating but always expressive and engaging. I loved it, despite the flaws.

Interesting look into the life of Rose Wilder Lane
I read part of this book on Kindle and listened to parts on Audible through Whispersync. While I wanted to really like this book, I struggled to appreciate the writing style. But it had its good moments as well as it's awkward moments. I enjoyed the story being told in first-person, but found it didn't improve the story when it switched to the 3rd person. (Rose is telling her story to a friend, so it goes back and forth every few chapters.) I didn't like hearing a few repetitive lines and bits of stories or sayings over again at different points of the book. It felt like they should have been caught during the editing process, but were overlooked. The congruity of the story seemed off when the timeline of the story went back or forward pivoting on a phrase used before. Overall, it was an interesting look (albeit thru a historical fiction lens) at Rose's life during the mid-twenties to mid-thirties. An easy read.

A Great Insight Into Freelance Writing
I found this book utterly fascinating. I was never a huge Laura Ingles Wilder fan as a child, but I'm now in love with Rose Wilder Lane. She was a pioneer for writing women everywhere.
Mary Robinette Kowal is a fantastic narrator. She recommend this book on a podcast she contributes to, "Writing Excuses," and it was every bit as amazing as she said it was. Her southern accent is done just right. She never overplays the part, and she keeps her voice from varying in volume, (greatly appreciated for those of us listening with headphones).
The story was well written, with a very contemplative climax, and a real sense of the struggles freelance writers face. Ms. Albert has a mastery of prose, a deft hand with detail, and raises the everyday drama of the 'dirty 30's' with subtle grace that most historical fiction writers lack.
This may not be a great book for people looking for dramatized reenactments. This is an outstanding book for for any kind of writer though.

Totally Modern Rosie
What did you love best about A Wilder Rose?
It presented a Rose Wilder who was her own person and did not make decisions based on what her mother or society wanted. The author pieced bits of history into a narrative to tell about this amazing women. Yet Rose remained devoted and committed to her family.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Wilder Rose?
The moment that impressed me was when she realized that the Little House of the Prairie books were going to be famous. She decided not to make a name for herself and leave the credit for the books to her mother.
Which scene was your favorite?
Rose was a strong willed independent woman who generously adopted sons. However, she was a bit too demanded with them. One of her sons told her he was not going to do what she wanted and stormed off.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Wild Rose, Laura Ingalls' wilder child.
Any additional comments?
It is amazing that it took so long for the world to learn that Rose Wilder was actually the "ghost writer" for her mother's books.
