A WILDER ROSE would interest past readers of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Little House series of children\\\'s books. The publisher\\\'s description that I read on the ARC I won from Kirkus says that this tells the story of Rose\\\'s and Laura\\\'s collaboration on the Little House books, which should come as a surprise to readers who always thought they were written by Laura. But, in fact, A WILDER ROSE is about Rose. Although A WILDER ROSE does describe the \\\"collaboration,\\\" that is not what the book is about. Her work on the Little House books was a part of her life and only parts of A WILDER ROSE. I had a hard time sticking with this book and found it too easy to put down.

Great discussion. A Laura Ingels Wilder we hadn't known.
