One of Refinery29’s Best Reads of September
In this novel authorized by the Little House Heritage Trust, Sarah Miller vividly recreates the beauty, hardship, and joys of the frontier in a dazzling work of historical fiction, a captivating story that illuminates one courageous, resilient, and loving pioneer woman as never before—Caroline Ingalls, “Ma” in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved Little House books.
In the frigid days of February, 1870, Caroline Ingalls and her family leave the familiar comforts of the Big Woods of Wisconsin and the warm bosom of her family, for a new life in Kansas Indian Territory. Packing what they can carry in their wagon, Caroline, her husband Charles, and their little girls, Mary and Laura, head west to settle in a beautiful, unpredictable land full of promise and peril in this compelling work of biographical fiction.
The pioneer life is a hard one, especially for a pregnant woman with no friends or kin to turn to for comfort or help. The burden of work must be shouldered alone, sickness tended without the aid of doctors, and babies birthed without the accustomed hands of mothers or sisters. But Caroline’s new world on the American frontier is also full of tender joys. In adapting to this strange new place and transforming a rough log house built by Charles’ hands into a home, Caroline must draw on untapped wells of strength she does not know she possesses.
For more than eighty years, generations of readers have been enchanted by the adventures of America’s most famous child, Laura Ingalls Wilder, in the Little House books. Now, that familiar story is retold in this captivating tale of family, fidelity, hardship, love, and survival that vividly reimagines our past.

Good book
I liked this book but it seemed like all the author had to do is fill-in the little house earring it again.book and add Caroline’s feelings.
It did hold my interest but the Little House books were a favorite of mine so it was nice r
Exceptional
“Ma” Ingalls - Caroline - was a real person with a heart, a soul and a spine of steel. Sarah Miller brings her to life in amazing ways, her interior life as well as what her family saw. I cannot say enough about the power of this book.
Eh
This is a revisit to the LIW franchise for me and I was left feeling so sorry for Caroline. She stuffs all of her emotions, is lonely, and should be pretty depressed. The wholesome setup (husband with twinkle in eye and well behaved children) is easy to read about, but I wouldn’t recommend the book.
