About this ebook
“Comforting, inspiring and beautifully written, Caroline is a precious addition to the story of the Ingalls family but stands on its own as a testament to the spirit, grit and courage that built America.” - Mary Jane Clark
USA Today Bestseller!
In this novel authorized by the Little House Heritage Trust, Sarah Miller vividly recreates the beauty, hardship, and joys of the frontier in a dazzling work of historical fiction, a captivating story that illuminates one courageous, resilient, and loving pioneer woman as never before―Caroline Ingalls, “Ma” in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved Little House books.
In the frigid days of February, 1870, Caroline Ingalls and her family leave the familiar comforts of the Big Woods of Wisconsin and the warm bosom of her family, for a new life in Kansas Indian Territory. Packing what they can carry in their wagon, Caroline, her husband Charles, and their little girls, Mary and Laura, head west to settle in a beautiful, unpredictable land full of promise and peril in this compelling work of biographical fiction.
The pioneer life is a hard one, especially for a pregnant woman with no friends or kin to turn to for comfort or help. The burden of work must be shouldered alone, sickness tended without the aid of doctors, and babies birthed without the accustomed hands of mothers or sisters.
But Caroline’s new world on the American frontier is also full of tender joys. In adapting to this strange new place and transforming a rough log house built by Charles’ hands into a home, Caroline must draw on untapped wells of strength she does not know she possesses.
For devoted readers of Laura Ingalls Wilder books — from Little House in the Big Woods and Little House on the Prairie through The Long Winter and These Happy Golden Years — Caroline offers the rare chance to experience that beloved story anew, through the eyes of the woman who made it all possible.

Great retelling of Little House on the Prairie from Caroline's perspective.
The writing itself was beautiful and the characterization felt as true to
life as historical fiction can be. For the first time I really related to
Caroline rather than just Laura, and as a long time Little House fan, this
was something I enjoyed very much.

Fascinating...lots of "true life" and the ring of historical accuracy. In some ways this book fills in gaps for an adult reader of Laura's books and enhances them. In other ways, this book de-romanticized her version of her childhood in a distressing way...but, perhaps, a necessary way. A good read...
