Wendy McClure loved the Little House book series when she was growing up, often imagining her own childhood adventures with Laura and the rest of the Ingalls family. After rediscovering the books as an adult, McClure fully immerses herself in the “Laura World” that captivated her as a child. In The Wilder Life, she churns butter in her Chicago apartment, spends the night in a covered wagon, and visits historic Laura Ingalls Wilder locations in six different states, often with her good-natured boyfriend in tow. This funny, touching memoir will appeal to fans of the Little House series as well as any bibliophile who has tried to recapture the experience of reading a beloved book for the first time.
