The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as Laura grows
up in the little town on the prairie. 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
roamntic conclusion of this Little House book.
