One of Refinery29's Best Reads of September

In this novel authorized by the Little House Heritage Trust, Sarah Miller vividly recreates the beauty, hardship, and joys of the frontier ina dazzling work of historical fiction, a captivating story that illuminates one courageous, resilient, and loving pioneer woman as never before—Caroline Ingalls, "Ma" in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved Little House books.

In the frigid days of February, 1870, Caroline Ingalls and her family leave the familiar comforts of the Big Woods of Wisconsin and the warm bosom of her family, for a new life in Kansas Indian Territory. Packing what they can carry in their wagon, Caroline, her husband Charles, and their little girls, Mary and Laura, head west to settle in a beautiful, unpredictable land full of promise and peril.

The pioneer life is a hard one, especially for a pregnant woman with no friends or kin to turn to for comfort or help. The burden of work must be shouldered alone, sickness tended without the aid of doctors, and babies birthed without the accustomed hands of mothers or sisters. But Caroline’s new world is also full of tender joys. In adapting to this strange new place and transforming a rough log house built by Charles’ hands into a home, Caroline must draw on untapped wells of strength she does not know she possesses.

For more than eighty years, generations of readers have been enchanted by the adventures of the American frontier’s most famous child, Laura Ingalls Wilder, in the Little House books. Now, that familiar story is retold in this captivating tale of family, fidelity, hardship, love, and survival that vividly reimagines our past.

Product description

Review

“Peeling back the layers of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie series allows Miller to reveal the real Caroline Ingalls, Wilder’s mother. Not to be missed by Wilder’s grown-up fans or those who enjoy historical fiction about the settling of the American West in the late 1800s.” — Library Journal

“Through assured prose, Miller puts us in those conversations, showing us the fear and uncertainty behind Wilder’s implacable, unflappable “Ma,” but also her strength and devotion to her husband and children...this is a stunning novel. Miller’s research is impeccable and her writing exquisite...” — Historical Novels Review, Editors’ Choice

“Comforting, inspiring and beautifully written, Caroline is a precious addition to the story of the Ingalls family but stands on its own as a testament to the spirit, grit and courage that built America.” — Mary Jane Clark

“I was entertained, transported, and inspired by Sarah Miller’s Caroline. Each passage was written with so much care and love, I now can’t imagine reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s series without a copy of Caroline close at hand.” — Shelley Shepard Gray, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

“A master of historical fiction, Miller forges Caroline Ingalls into a formidable, complex pioneer woman, and adult fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series will delight in this portrayal of “Ma.” Beguiling, pulse-pounding historical fiction.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Readers who grew up cherishing the stories of Laura Ingalls Wilder will find much to savor in Caroline...Full of lyrical descriptions of the wild beauty of the Kansas countryside, Caroline is a well-researched and thoughtful look at the inner life of one of America’s most famous frontier women.” — BookPage

“Now, Miller draws her[CarolineIngalls]onto center stage, gifting readers with a beautiful portrait of a remarkable, true pioneer. This is a beautiful tribute to a mother and a family who followed their dreams and a tale that is as uplifting and real as the original Little House books.” — RT Book Reviews

“A stunning and sentimental novel brimming with historical detail, Caroline grants readers a chance at a new experience with an old familiar story.” — Bustle

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Treat for Fans of the Ingalls family
    Reviewed in Canada on February 17, 2018
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    If you ran with Laura and Mary across the prairies. If you held the rope, with Laura, to travel back and forth to the barn in the blizzard. If you waited with her on a Friday afternoon to hear Almanzo coming to take her home for the weekend. Then you should read Caroline. The author has revisited the book Little House on the Prairie, from Caroline's point of view. There are some differences from the original as Sarah Miller has tried to stay closer to history in some places, but the story doesn't suffer for it. My only one complaint - and it is minor - is that the author included a bit of Caroline and Charles' sex life, which could have been avoided, in my opinion. It's no steamy, beach novel and still PG rated but I would have liked to stay out of the bedroom. All in all, I loved the book. And I fell even more in love with Ma and more aware of all that the pioneer women had to endure.

    Reviewed in Canada on July 13, 2018
    Caroline: Little House, Revisited, showcases Sarah Miller's ability to once again take a well known piece of history and transform it with mesmerizing detail and brilliant characterization.

    Caroline: Little House, Revisited reworks the beloved characters from the 'Little House' book series and chooses to present the events from Caroline 'Ma' Ingalls' perspective to shed new light on a famed story.

    While Miller did a lot of things right when bringing Caroline 'Ma' Ingalls there were a few issues I had when reading Caroline, Little House Revisited. First thing was the pacing. There was quite a bit of detail included, which made the book drag on a bit. The first half of the book focuses on the Ingalls' trek from Wisconsin to Kansas, which meant a lot of focus on landscape, and of Caroline's personal attachment to said landscape. However, while I personally struggled with it I understand why Miller chose to include all the details she did, it gave Caroline a chance to weave her personality into the narrative. The other issue I had, which was of no fault to Miller, is that I don't really remember too much backstory to the Ingalls clan. I remember catching episodes of Little House on the Prairie but don't remember concrete detail. As such I think I would have enjoyed the book more if I had revisited the series or read up on the real Ingalls' journey through America.

    With that said, Miller has amazing characterization. I was a tad worried about reading from Caroline's perspective as I was under some unfounded impression that Miller was going to present the stereotypical mother figure. And yet, Miller was able to take this young mother and give her both personality and purpose. Caroline is much more than just the wife of Charles, and the mother of Mary, Laura, and Carrie, and Miller understands that. She has thoughts and feelings of her own, that don't line up with that of her husband, though she usually doesn't act on them. I also really enjoyed seeing Caroline character progression. At first she was rather reluctant to pick up her family and move from Wisconsin to Kansas. And yet, by the end of the book she made the most of a bad situation and eventually came to love her home, and her quirky cast on neighbors, which made leaving Kansas hard. Miller didn't shy away from presenting motherhood and all that comes along with it as physically and emotionally demanding. Especially for a woman at that time I thought that every choice Caroline made allowed for her and her family a better chance in a rather unforgiving world.

    How much of what they loved in her was real, and how much was fashioned from what they envisioned her to be?

    In her 2017 novel, Sarah Miller takes readers back to 1870 Wisconsin with the Ingalls family(Charles and Caroline with daughters Mary and Laura) traveling to Kansas. A familiar story to those who have read Little House on the Prairie. However, this time the story is told through the eyes of Caroline Ingalls. We witness the strength of a pregnant Caroline as she battles the hardships of the journey while also juggling motherhood and leaving her family ties behind in the east.

    Thoroughly researched and accompanied by a reading club guide, a book list, and a note from the author, this is the Little House story that all of us have been longing to jump into.

    This storey really hit home. That poor woman just trying to survive and trying to please others. The fear she must have felt on a daily basis wondering if Indians would just wander into her home and take things. And having to protect her 3 small children. Life on the prairie was far from grand. A great storey all around!!!!!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting viewpoint, but the writing...
    Reviewed in Germany on February 23, 2019
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    While I truly loved Caroline’s perspective, I think the book lacks a lot of the energy and positivity that can be felt in Laura’s versions. Sarah Miller’s style is pretty slow, not to say dull, mainly due to the many lenghty descriptions of fairly unimportant things -which would be totally fine if it added to the book’s overall background and atmosphere, but it clearly didn’t for me.

    I really loved this novel. I was an avid reader of the original little house books as a young girl and now I’m a grandma I found it totally engaging to read the story told from Carolines point of view. Although it is fictional it is exactly how I would have imagined it to be. The author has a beautiful style of writing that immerses you totally into the world of her chosen subject. If you loved the little house books as a child then you will not be disappointed with this story.
