Caroline (Miller) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
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.… [T]his is a stunning novel. Miller’s research is impeccable and her writing exquisite.
Historical Novels Review


Now, Miller draws [Caroline Ingalls] 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.

This character-driven narrative balances a submissive and dutiful wife with a passionate young woman who openly and tenderly admires her husband and relishes their lovemaking. Verdict: Not to be missed by Wilder's grown-up fans. —Wendy W. Paige, Shelby Cty. P.L. Morristown.
Library Journal


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.

Caroline is compellingly mindful, particularly when she studies the effects of a tightly knit family life on her daughters and of relentless, brutal work on her husband, herself, and her far-flung neighbors in Indian territory. Beguiling, pulse-pounding historical fiction.
