The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder
5.0
Given the amount of snow we have on the ground right now and in the upcoming forecast, this story felt appropriate.
It’s a tale of a bitter winter. Of making do and doing without. Of pulling together as a family. Of finding joy in the little things when little things were all you had.
This is probably the darkest/most serious Little House book, and I had forgotten just how difficult things were. A small prairie town that faced food and heat shortages during perhaps the worst winter the region has ever seen and yet they were ingenious and resilient. It was literally a fight for survival with every page.
I had also forgotten this was when Laura met her future husband Almonzo Wilder… So much beauty amid the darkness!
