These Happy Golden Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder
3.0

Actually one of my favorites. The thought of Laura now being an adult at such a young age and needing to face the same dangerous world as her Ma and Pa intrigued me. It also intrigued me that the girl of the wild wild west grew up to witness the roaring 20's the Great Depression, and World War II.

My favorite part was Almanzo excitedly describing the great potential of being a farmer. Found it oddly inspiring and relatable. When you're a farmer in America, you can be as successful as your ambition allows.
