Plot Summary
Fifteen-year-old Laura lives apart from her family for the first time, teaching school in a claim shanty twelve miles from home. She is very homesick, but keeps at it so that she can help pay for her sister Mary’s tuition at the college for the blind.
During school vacations Laura has fun with her singing lessons, going on sleigh rides, and best of all, helping Almanzo Wilder drive his new buggy.
Friendship soon turns to love for Laura and Almanzo in the romantic conclusion of this Little House book.
Audiobook Review
Such a sweet ending to sweet audiobook and a sweet series. This Audiobook Free had all the things I’ve loved about this series: The Ingalls family, the setting, seeing how things were during that historical tie period, Almanzo, and a very sweet, innocent romance. The familial love and support of the Ingalls family for each other was especially wonderful.
I shed a tear of happiness at Laura and Almanzo’s wedding, especially when Pa played all the old songs on his fiddle, and everything else, and just… gah! It made me so happy.
