A good one! Laura’s independence shines through, but she also marries a man 10 years older than her?
"These Happy Golden Years" is one of my favorites in the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. It picks up with Laura when she is 15 years old as she starts teaching for the first time and travels away from home. The center of the book is really the courtship between herself and her future husband, Almanzo Wilder. Like many other books in the series, it's a fascinating look at life as a pioneer out west -- it's particularly interesting to see how the country around the Ingalls family grows as well.
This is one of my favorite books of all time. When I was younger, I devoured the Little House series...twice! But this book I read countless more times than that.
It makes me feel nostalgic just thinking about it.

This book certainly didn't convince child me that eloping was better than having a wedding (being in the wedding party of two weddings and attending two more before the age of 13 did that), but it certainly didn't help.
