Fraser's thorough biography clarifies the life and writing career of the beloved author. The book sheds light on how the Little House books differed from Wilder's actual life. The author also gives a lot of space to Wilder's relationship with her daughter, Rose, to address accusations that the latter actually wrote the series. Readers will learn a great deal about the harshness of frontier life as experienced by the Ingalls family, and how Wilder's perceptions of her parents and the frontier shaped her writings. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the Little House phenomenon. The author will visit Jefferson County on October 16 and 17th. Visit https://libguides.jeffco.edu/jcmoprairie for information.
