The Wilder Life is a tribute to the Little House books that's both reverent and irreverent-in a thoughtful, hilarious way. I couldn't put it down. -Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project Mandatory reading for all bonnetheads - and the people who love them! -Alison Arngrim, TV's Nellie Oleson and New York Times bestselling author of Confessions of A Prairie Bitch Wendy McClure's The Wilder Life evoked so much of an almost palpable nostalgia that I felt like I was walking into my childhood dollhouse every time I opened the book. I absolutely loved this book. -Julie Klam, author of You Had Me at Woof The Wilder Life perfectly captures the wistful, poignant, goofy nature of Little House lust. It also offers some important lessons on late 19th century land rights and butter churning. Now that's my kind of book! -Meghan Daum, author of Life Would Be Perfect If I Lived In That House
