Oh Kate, how I loved that writing. Reading Little House on the Prairie, when I was a child, filled me with courage and taught me morality. At age 8, I was thrilled to find out from my mother that we are distantly related to Laura Ingalls Wilder. We’ve gone to see the area where she lived, on the banks of Lake Pepin. My grandparents took us on a pilgrimage to where they later lived, in Mankato, Minnesota and DeSmet, South Dakota. It was (and still is) thrilling to read her stories, and the profound life lessons she tells. I love your spirit, Kate…..and I whole heartedly agree—
“No, they can’t take that away from me!” xoxo Melissa Boswell
wow that must have been exciting to learn that you are related to her! What a wonderful experience it must have been to read her stories, and then visit the places in real life. x
