Bookroo's summary

Rose Wilder, daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, embarks on a challenging journey with her family across the drought-ridden Midwest. Leaving behind familiar faces, they travel in a covered wagon, seeking a fresh start in Missouri's lush valleys. Will the promise of a new home bring the peace and prosperity they hope for, or will the trials of the road test their pioneer spirit? Discover the beginning of Rose's story in this captivating tale of resilience and hope.

From the publisher

Once a long time ago a little girl named Laura Ingalls lived in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, in a little house made of logs. She grew up and wrote nine books about her childhood - the famous Little House stories. Laura had a daughter of her own named Rose, who grew up in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, also in a little house made of logs. “Little House on Rocky Ridge” is the beginning of Rose’s story, which starts where the book “The First Four Years” ends.
