When I was a very awkward 12, I was reading the back cover of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s The First Four Years before starting it. I’d devoured everything she had written but had never opened this one yet. I struck upon the phrase “based upon her life” and it completely stunned me. All of the “Little House” books, Mary, Ma, baby Carrie, the struggles to eek out a living and the joys of family life….it had all happened to a real person, years and years before. Books took on a whole new life for me and have never been the same since!
