I thought I would love this book. I devoured Laura Ingalls Wilder's
books as a girl and then loved reading them again with my own children. I
did not love this book. I didn't even like this book. I could barely
force myself to finish this book. It wasn't poorly written, it wasn't
offensive in any way, it just wasn't interesting.
Much of what
the author wrote about Laura's spiritual legacy was surmised and not
actual fact. I felt like it was just lame. On top of the conjectured
details of Laura's religious upbringing, half of the book was random
filler like recipes and words to old hymns and songs. Then the book
ended with two appendixes.
I'm sorry, but I could definitely not recommend A Prairie Girl's Faith to anyone. I am glad that I didn't purchase it. I did receive it from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
