I don't really associate this book with the rest of the "Little House" series for several reasons. First of all, it was published without the consent of Laura Ingalls Wilder or her daughter (and editor) Rose Wilder Lane. Second, it was only found after Rose's death, and for whatever reason, it was never finished. And lastly, it seems to lack the innocence and charm of the other books (perhaps because it was written without the help of Rose, or that it was simply meant for a more mature audience).
Still, it's an interesting and heartbreaking account of the first four years of Laura's marriage to Almanzo Wilder.

One of my favorite series as a kid! For a year I was even signed up with scholastic where I received the whole series in paperback and got to do little fun crafts and things. :) I've watched COUNTLESS episodes with my mother and had fun comparing the books to the show. This series will always hold a special place in my heart.

This was a draft of a book found by Laura's daughter after her death. It was very different in terms of style and wasn't nearly as descriptive as the other books. I ended up ordering some other books Laura wrote about her life after this book from the library today...
I just about put this book down for good at page 4. This tacked-on little house on the prairie book begins by revisiting Almanzo proposing to marry Laura quickly. Only this time, the story goes a little differently.
It turns out Laura doesn't want to be a farmer's wife.... Okay. But she gives Almanzo the benefit of the doubt and agrees to try.
This book was a quick read. But disaster after disaster gets tiring to read about. And the ending was less than satisfying. Still, it was interesting to see just how Laura's new married life turned out...

Not my favorite of the series, you can tell it wasn't ready to be published
The final volume of Laura’s story may be shorter than previous ones, but it manages to conclude her story in a solemn tone. Like she did with her family, Laura and Almanzo face many events of hardship that will test them, but also a few happy surprises during their first few years. In the end, an incredible and triumphant story of a pioneer girl. A (100%/Outstanding)
