From the Library Journal’s review of BLH guest contributor Wendy McClure’s upcoming The Wilder Life, written by Carol Gladstein:
“Determined to delve as far as possible into what she calls “Laura World,” McClure embraces pioneer life as much as her 21st-century existence will allow. Retracing the Ingalls family journey, from the Big Woods through Plum Creek to the plains of South Dakota, McClure sifts fact from fiction while remaining true to Laura Ingalls Wilder’s vision. … The success of McClure’s book is that it uniquely ties a plethora of Wilder information to a Wilder book lover’s overpowering obsession. … Part memoir, part travelog, part tribute, The Wilder Life is a satisfying homage to a beloved writer and her books, which continue to attract young readers today. McClure’s easy style and conversational prose will appeal to her fellow enthusiasts and those needing a gentle reintroduction to an old childhood friend.”
