This book takes place far from Laura Wilder and her home, for Rose has gone to live with her aunt Eliza-Jane in Crowley, Louisiana so that she can attend high school. The focus is far from the domestic home that was Laura's focus in her novels; Rose feels strongly for womens' rights and the socialism movement her aunt proudly champions. As she is exposed to the city and its inhabitants, and mixes with social groups she's never encountered before (Blacks and Acadians, for starters) Rose finds her voice and passions. She develops into her own person, and begins to set her own course in life. (  ) valkylee | Feb 5, 2008 |  In the seventh volume of Little House: The Rose Years, Rose Wilder spreads her wings and spends a school year with her aunt down in Crowley, Louisiana. Those months serve to expand her social consciousness as she experiences life in a bigger city, with different types of people. On one hand, I missed all of the familiar and lovable characters from the previous books. Part of me mourned as Rose drifted away from her parents' values and lifestyles. But on the other hand, I am a child of the 20th Century. I can relate to many of her feelings. And there's the pure fun of exploring life in Louisiana through Rose's eyes. This one's a volume to check out even if you haven't been following the series. --J.
