The Wilder family struggles to make a success of Rocky Ridge, their little farm in the Ozarks. Young Rose must help her parents as they battle the natural disasters of a cyclone, a drought, and a forest fire. But there are good times as well, when Rose attends her first party in town. After the last book, which was a bit dull, things pick up again for Rose and her family in this book. One of the things that's interesting in comparing these to the Little House books is that I feel the author romanticizes farming much less than Laura Ingalls Wilder did. I don't think one way is better than the other, but it is an interesting contrast. This series by MacBride really is better than the pre-Laura series. More intense, more heartfelt, richer. Not quite enough to give it another star, mainly because now that I've read all that I own I don't feel the need to seek out more. I did put a couple of book darts in bits I wanted to note: [T]hey who forgive most will be most forgiven."
