Summary: A simply wonderful book
Review: I bought my copy at the museum in Mansfield because I always wanted to read Rose's work. This book is a gem. The essay introducing the book is worth getting the book but each story is a gem on its own. Her voice is fresh and rings well today. You would not know she lived in the first half of the 20th century. I have loaned this book out to 2 people now and all of us are knocked out at how good Rose was. Purchase it, read it. Rose was well known in the early part of last century for good reason. Let's bring this author back to the audience she richly deserves today.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Rose is just as gripping a writer as her mother, although with a far more adult narrative style.

Summary: A wonderful book
Review: This book is a beautifully-written account of small-town life just after the turn of the century. Fascinating stories, many with softly breathtaking twists. Characters are well-developed and believably human. Also, an eye-opener addressing the many limitations placed on the female gender of that era. For any Laura Ingalls Wilder fans hungering for more to read, this is the book for you. ~S.W.

Summary: What Great Stories true to life
Review: This book is wonderful, funny and hearwarming. My great aunt was born in the same era and used to tell me similar stories in this fashion. What a life women had in the olden days, there are not many real life accounts in print that are honest and true. This one is. What a fun book to read.

Summary: A great book
Review: This delightful collection of short stories was based on Rose Wilder Lane's life as she was growing up. She accurately
described the issues women faced at around the turn of a century, especially that of being an old maid! An old maid if
you're not married by your mid-20's? Wow!
The stories in this book was a combination of humorous and some seriousness. The characters were realistic and seem to come to life for that time period.
