None of the other "Little House Years" books are as good as the ones about Laura but other then the Laura books the Martha ones are definitely my favorite. I love Scotland so that made this books particularly interesting to me but in general I just think they are the best written and most engaging titles from this set of books.
Martha visits her sister in town, and expects to have a wonderful time, but finds her sister’s father-in-law to be very unfriendly. When he dies, however, she feels bad about her ill feelings, and it hits her hard. She returns home, but it is strange to be back, though she is glad to see her brothers again. Suddenly, Martha has had to learn that she is not the laird’s daughter everywhere. She has experienced death and hopes for life.
One of my favorite childhood books
love this series!!!!!
