    About "A Wilder Rose":

    "The Little House books, which chronicled the childhood pioneer life of Laura Ingalls Wilder, are among the most beloved books in the American literary canon. Less well known is the secret, concealed for decades, of how they came to be. Now, Susan Wittig
    Albert tells 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 over sixty million readers around the world."

    I had no idea she was that old. She is one of my favorite authors.I love the Victorian series and the China Bayles series. I also read the Beatrix Potter ones and the Darling Dahlias ones, but with less enthusiasm. I hope she lives to 100 and keeps
    writing all that time.
