A New Chapter
The era following the publishing of Little House in the Big Woods was a new chapter in the Wilder family’s life. It is not often that a woman in her 60s publishes her first book to massive acclaim and success, especially after a life that was a constant struggle and had little stability.
The hard work of Laura and her family had paid off, and this humble, hardworking family now had their story told to the world, thrilling and inspiring readers far and wide. It seems improbable, and yet somehow inevitable, that this girl who bounced from farm to farm her entire life and became a school teacher at 15 would write a massively successful book series.
