I loved the Laura Ingalls series growing up, and I thought I would really like this one. McClure does a great job with her research and I enjoyed the references to the books. I liked reading about seeing the homesteads and the places Laura had lived. My mom and I once talked about visiting an Ingalls site, and I still think that would be a pretty neat trip. I had a hard time with McClure's characterizations of other Laura fans. She comes across as snooty, denigrating those Laura freaks, the same ones that are liable to pick up this book. While those sections made me wince, I liked the idea of searching for one's childhood by looking for the real Laura under the layers of fiction and the past in our modern world. What a great concept... and one that leaves the reader a little wistful.
