About this listen

Fifteen-year-old Laura lives apart from her family for the first time, teaching school in a claim shanty 12 miles from home. She is very homesick but keeps at it so that she can help pay for her sister Mary's tuition at the college for the blind. During school vacations Laura has fun with her singing lessons, going on sleigh rides, and, best of all, helping Almanzo Wilder drive his new buggy. Friendship soon turns to love for Laura and Almanzo in the romantic conclusion of this Little House book.

So much time was covered in this book. So many milestones reached. I feel this could have been made into a few books with more details, however for the most part it didn’t feel rushed. This one had me laughing, scared, happy, crying... name an emotion it was covered. I love each of these books so much, but this is one of my favorites.
As usual Cherry does well with the story, but could use have a little more difference between characters.
Over all I just wish it was longer!

My only complaint was that it wasn’t longer

Our family listened with joy to this book narrated by amazingly talented Cherry Jones who again brought this sweet real story to life for our family. The Ingalls and the Wilders were real families and we feel privileged they shared their stories with us thru the eyes of Laura Ingalls Wilder. God bless them and each generation that reads this series. This series filled us with a renewed hope and joy for life, love, marriage, children, and on and on.
