Rezensionen
I really did enjoy this book and there was just so much insight into their relationship as well as showing their humanity. I am a registered libertarian but fall more along the lines in which Rose Wilder speaks of than really the party of today.

The author has meticulously researched the collaboration through which Laura Ingalls Wilder and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane created the books. Woodside makes a strong case that part of Lane's contribution to the books was the development of libertarian themes throughout the plots and frameworks of the stories. Further, she illustrates the personal cost of the collaboration which eventually led to estrangement between the two women.
