The story of Caroline and Charles' courtship. A children's book, but still a read for those of us that have read the Little House books. I probably would have given it more stars if I'd been a child reading it, but as an adult I was probably expecting more than I ought to have expected. I also thought that the title made it sound as if more of the early days of their marriage would be the topic but it really was a case of 'The Events Leading Up to Getting A Little House of Their show more Own'

Nonetheless, it's a quick, pleasant read. show less

My favorite friendly librarian ordered this for me, got it from UNLV. I'm so glad. It really is one of the best of all the stories about Laura's family besides the ones she wrote herself, as it talks about bloomers, and abolitionists, and other historical events, as well as about family matters and pioneer life. I still want to learn more about Caroline's sister Martha, as she is a more interesting person, but at least know I finally know how Caroline met Charles Ingalls!

None of the other "Little House Years" books are as good as the ones about Laura but other then the Laura books I prefer the Martha and Charlotte books. I don't enjoy the Caroline books as much because they are a bit uneven for me with some in the series being really good and others lacking.
