Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A New York Times Bestselling AuthorIn 1928, Rose Wilder Lane -- world traveler and highly-paid journalist -- returned from Albania to her parents' Ozark farm and felt obligated to stay. Then came the Crash. Rose's investments vanished and work dried up. That's when Laura wrote Pioneer Girl. The rest is literary history, but not the history we thought we knew. A Wilder Rose tells the surprising true story of the often strained collaboration that produced the Little House books.
Includes bibliographical references.
Laura Ingalls Wilder is widely loved as the author of the Little House books that detail her life growing up in woods and on the prairies that were the frontiers of her time. Yet unknown to readers and publishers of the time and even until recently, Laura's daughter Rose had a substantial hand in crafting those stories for children. Rose was a well-recognized writer on her own, and it was she who encouraged her mother to write, then substantially cleaned up her stories so they were fit for publication. In A Wilder Rose: Rose Wilder Lane, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Their Little Houses, author Susan Wittig Albert fictionalizes this real-life story while shedding light on the lives of both Laura and her daughter.
