Caroline Little House Revisited edition by Sarah Miller Literature Fiction eBooks

After reading this, I wish an entire alternate series could be written from Caroline's point of view. I'm in my forties and still have the box set of the paperbacks in the yellow box, that I received for Christmas one year from my Dad's company Christmas party. I tend to re-read the books once a year or so, mostly when I get laid out with an annual cold or flu because they are easy and comforting.

As a girl, of course I found Laura's perspective enthralling, but as I grew older I eyed everything from a modern world, feminist view, and occasionally wondered how dear Pa's wanderlust, failed ambitions, and forays actually impacted his wife. This book was a great reminder that things were so different. As I'd read the original books, Laura focused so much on Pa, that I wondered what Caroline was really thinking and feeling every time they moved, nearly starved, journeyed from their close knit family and community. It was also eye opening to realize how young Caroline would have been when they made the move, and that she was actually pregnant with Baby Carrie, and didn't acquire Jack until Pet and Patty. Not to mention just the having to do things like laundry out in the prairie.

It was a real 'driveway moment' for me,because I first heard about while driving to meet a friend for breakfast on a Sunday morning and the author was being interviewed. My friend texted asking why I was late, and I had to respond I was in my car listening to the radio.

Caroline Little House Revisited edition by Sarah Miller Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

At the time I bought it, the price had been temporarily dropped to $1.99. It had been on my "maybe" list for awhile but with some of the reviews I was hesitant at full price. But for the sale price? I went why not, if I don't like it, not a huge deal.

Like many readers of this book, I grew up reading the Little House books. I read them with my kids, and was intrigued by the idea of a retelling of the story from Ma/ Caroline's perspective.

The story is familiar, which made the book easy to read. I appreciated that it kept with the same story line, giving a bit of extra detail here and there.

I was curious about the sex scenes, expecting them to be very graphic but having read all manners of romance novels, this was well done in my mind. It could have been a lot more graphic. But yes, there is mention of it. You have to assume it happens, they went on to have more kids and this story did come from her perspective so it's not that out of place. This is something to keep in mind if you aren't comfortable reading it, or if you plan to have an older child read it.

Was it a life changing book, no. Was it enjoyable? Sure. I'd definitely snag it if it goes on sale, if you're a Little House fan/ and like similar books.
Barely able to get thru the book. Caroline is odd, obsessed with her inner self and after a day fighting a life threatening fire she spreads ashes on her chest and gets horny which we have to read about in detail. Not going in my Little House collection!!
I completely, utterly, loved this book. Kudos to the foundation for choosing such an accomplished writer to tell The story of a woman who thinks not much of herself at all, who tries to not take up space, to not speak in anger, and who taught me so very much by her grace. Kudos to Caroline, who had me in tears for her simple, fierce, love of her family, for her bravery. (Narration was superb).

Today we talk talk talk, behind our phones and in our safe places. But when it comes to doing, we fail the mark. Not Caroline. Love you all over again. (less)
I hope this book isn't too strongly linked to Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" books as a "companion" or "for the fans of..." because this is so much more. Had there never been any Laura Ingalls Wilder books, this novel would still stand as a strong, well-written, page-turner filled with truth, honest emotion, and adventure. This is a book for grown-ups (and teens) and is in no way a "children's book" or "another Little House book."

This is the story of Caroline, Laura Ingalls Wilder's mother, from her own perspective as the family moved from their familiar, family-laden Wisconsin to the rough land of Kansas. Remember, in that era, there was almost nothing there but the ground. Imagine being a pregnant woman with two young children traveling to Indian territory with uncertain food sources, wolves, and isolation. This is the harrowing story of a strong pioneer woman who tells us at each stage what they go through and how it feels. If this book doesn't take you there, nothing will. As you read it, you are there and you experience it too.

Author Caroline Miller must be wise beyond her years, since the inner thoughts of Caroline always ring true with the surrounding circumstances. They have to cross the perilous Mississippi River (in a wagon filled with household goods), deal with weather, fight a prairie fire, build their own house, hunt/harvest their own food, and cope with the fears and hopes of a new life in a strange place.
You will hear the "voice" of Caroline long after you finish this book, as her character shines so strongly, revealing both the vulnerable and strong sides she possesses. Fans of the "Little House" books and TV show will enjoy this, yet then be surprised by the additional depth to the story. Especially for those expecting the TV series, know that this is not lite TV nor superficialty. It has the classic tone of gems like "My Antonia" (Willa Cather) and "Sarah, Plain and Tall" (Patricia MacLachlan).

Notes The reviews here stating the book is too "sex" or "lust" oriented are ridiculous. This is the most tame love story you will read. The author humanizes the characters, so yes they have to go to the "necessary" and life is not quite as glossy as in the "Little House" books. Of course Caroline is attracted to her husband Charles, but it's so carefully done and subtle that it would not offend even the most sensitive reader.

This is one of the best reads I've had in the past year, and I read about 100 books a year. I highly recommend it.
