The beloved author of the Little House books was not only one of America's great pioneer storytellers but a woman of vibrant faith.

Thefirst in-depth look at thespiritual path of legendary storyteller Laura Ingalls Wilder.

With her extraordinary God-given pluck, the creator of the epic Little House series survived the harshness of frontier life-from the heartbreak of sudden crop losses to murderous storms to unrelenting loneliness. Yet in every season, Laura found strength through her relationship with God.

Now, several generations later, Laura's insights about work and rest, trust in the face of hardship, and the value of faith are more relevant than ever. Through Laura's discerning newspaper pieces as an early advice columnist, interviews with people who knew her personally, and extensive investigation by Stephen Hines, we witness an authentic faith that comes not from pretending all is well but from growing through difficult times.

With photos and authentic recipesfrom the Little House era,A Prairie Girl's Faith also opens a wider window into the lives of pioneers as it offers a revealing look at the beliefs, character, and culture into which Laura was born and grew to maturity.

Reviews for A Prairie Girl's Faith

Because of my father's role in the Little House on the Prairie television series, I have long admired Laura Ingalls Wilder and the values she portrayed so memorably in her books. It's no secret to her readers that faith was central to the Ingalls family. This compelling discussion of Laura's spiritual journey is most welcome and satisfying. --Michael Landon Jr., actor, director, writer, and producer
