Story
For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

Now, drawing on unpublished manuscripts, letters, diaries, and land and financial records, Caroline Fraser masterfully fills in the gaps in Wilder's biography.

Story
When the Dionne Quintuplets were born on May 28, 1934, weighing a grand total of just over 13 pounds, no one expected them to live so much as an hour. Overnight, Yvonne, Annette, Cécile, Émilie, and Marie Dionne mesmerized the globe, defying medical history with every breath they took. In an effort to protect them from hucksters and showmen, the Ontario government took custody of the five identical babies, sequestering them in a private, custom-built hospital across the road from their family - and, in a stunning act of hypocrisy, proceeded to exploit them for the next nine years.

Publisher's Summary
In this novel authorized by the Little House estate, Sarah Miller vividly recreates the beauty, hardship, and joys of the frontier in a dazzling work of historical fiction, a captivating story that illuminates one courageous, resilient, and loving pioneer woman as never before - Caroline Ingalls, Ma in Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved Little House books.
In the frigid days of February 1870, Caroline Ingalls and her family leave the familiar comforts of the Big Woods of Wisconsin and the warm bosom of her family for a new life in Kansas Indian Territory. Packing what they can carry in their wagon, Caroline, her husband, Charles, and their little girls, Mary and Laura, head west to settle in a beautiful, unpredictable land full of promise and peril.
The pioneer life is a hard one, especially for a pregnant woman with no friends or kin to turn to for comfort or help. The burden of work must be shouldered alone, sickness tended without the aid of doctors, and babies birthed without the accustomed hands of mothers or sisters. But Caroline's new world is also full of tender joys. In adapting to this strange new place and transforming a rough log house built by Charles' hands into a home, Caroline must draw on untapped wells of strength she does not know she possesses.
For more than 80 years, generations have been enchanted by the adventures of the American frontier's most famous child, Laura Ingalls Wilder, in the Little House books. Now that familiar story is retold in this captivating tale of family, fidelity, hardship, love, and survival that vividly reimagines our past.

unnecessary and graphic sex scenes
The sex scenes were shocking and completely unnecessary! It ruined the whole book for me. Someone had told me to watch out for those parts, but I assumed they would be mild. I was wrong. They were graphic and distasteful. It made me lose my taste for the book entirely. I am so disappointed.
I can’t imagine how horrified Ma and Pa Ingalls would be to know the intimate parts of their marriage would be so graphically written about.

My childhood has been ruined
I was really looking forward to this book. When I read the other reviews my thought was “how could they say it’s awful? “Well, it is.
It begins just fine. I enjoyed hearing the minute details of how she lived in the 1870s. I enjoyed the stories of linseed oil on diapers, how she made water potable, And the other tiny little details of how life used to be. And then Charles spoke. It was horrible. Someone should have told this Narrator That Pa Wasn’t a gravelly voiced creep. Other male voices in this book could easily have been his. When I first read the review about the performance I thought it couldn’t be that bad. It was. And then it got worse
Not only did the voice ruin things for me, but the steamy sex scenes between the two were unnecessary and really grossed me out. I assume that the majority of people reading this book read them as children. The innocence is definitely lost in this book. I now have the image of Charles his tent stuck in my minds eye and it sickens me. I secretly enjoy steamy trash novels on vacation, but there is a time and a place for them ....and it isn’t on the Prairie.

Obviously, I didn't like it
Where to start ? Others have reviewed this positively; I can not. I loved the Little House books, but this retelling of "Little House on the Prarie" was boring, dreary, and charmless. I hated Charles for his selfishness ( putting his wife through the hardship of a 700 mile trip by wagon while pregnant, no regard for the hardships and hazards to her or the two young children). Caroline's inner dialogue was endless and tedious. If you love the Little House books, this will change your view of them. And the narrator ! Ugh ! Her singing was abysmal and her voice for Charles, terrible. Re-read the Little House books but skip this.

Arduous
A huge fan of the Laura Ingalls Wilder series of books along with the television show Little House on the Prairie I was anticipating being taken back to joyful entertainment. This book is like reading a poorly written, in the sense of entertainment, term paper. Spare yourself and don't be tempted. This is a dud.

Good story ,weird narration.
I liked the story,interesting new perspective , although I doubt Caroline was as constantly unsettled as she is portrayed In This book, The narrators choice of voice and cadence for Charles was weird and cringy. Charles was a good humored ,intelligent man who was always looking to bring people up and keep things light , the way this lady makes him sound is not at all in the spirit of what we know him to be . He sounds creepy, slow talking , depressed ,dull ect. I hate being critical of someone performance , I could never do an audio book myself but yeah it has to be said , the voice of Charles ruins the book .

Not Little House
Mildly interesting but not at all part of the “Little House” series. Entirely unfounded speculation about the inner life of Caroline Ingalls. Entirely unfounded assumptions about the relationship between Caroline and Charles. And entirely too 21st century in language. Disappointing.

Great narration. Good story. Something about it left me unsettled, though. Can’t put my finger on it. Maybe it was how little Caroline actually said. I admire the fine details of mannerisms, language, and culture of the time/place.

A new point of view!
I grew up with the Little House Series and I will never forget the stories and life lessons that are gifted to the reader from Laura’s words. This is a retelling of The Little House on the Prarie from Caroline Ingalls’s point of view. I actually find it quite refreshing to hear it all from an adult perspective rather than the innocence of a child. Laura told us of the day to day monotony of travel and struggle as a child would see it. Endless days of open skies, camping outdoors, wanting to play or walk rather than ride, fear during a river crossing, missing a beloved pet who was believed drowned, and the excitement once a new home was found.
In Caroline’s point of view we see the melancholy of leaving friends and family, the trepidation of moving from an established home, the travails of pregnancy, the desire of wanting to protect two little ones on the open road, wanting to please her husband, inner dialogue, guilt, and thoughts that many a pioneer woman no doubt wrestled with, and the struggles of creating a home where once there was none. It is the same beloved stories that we are all familiar with. It is just from a different point of view.
The fact that Ms Miller received permission and approval from the Wilder estate gives reassurance that the novel she has written holds fast to the truth and spirit of the original work. I’d like to see more of the beloved stories retold from Ma’s point of view or even Pa’s! A new perspective is always a refreshing change! 10/10!

Disappointing
I loved all of the Little House books as a child and can't wait to read them to my daughter when she is a little older. Therefore, I was excited to hear this version of Little House on the Prairie. As a mother myself now, I felt that I should be able to identify with Caroline Ingalls in the same way I identified with Laura when I was a little girl. However, the story does not seem to be about the Ma of the original books. Instead we are treated to the overly wordy and tedious inner monologue of a pessimistic stranger. Whilst some details of the life of a pioneer woman are interesting, the plot is incredibly slow and I am struggling to finish it. I don't have a problem with the tweaking of details to make it more historically accurate; I have read biographies of Laura Ingalls Wilder and am aware how she fictionalised her account. However, the graphic details around Caroline's pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding with Carrie are just too much and verge on disgusting. I think I may have to stop listening before the infamous sex scene towards the end of the book that other reviewers have mentioned. Again, it feels inappropriate.

A very enjoyable book, especially for anyone who has read or has an interest in the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder. It was good to hear about the daily life of the pioneer woman.
