From the Mouth of Ma: A Search for Caroline Quiner Ingalls by Robynne Elizabeth Miller

From the Mouth of Ma

There’s not a whole lot written about Caroline Quiner Ingalls, the mother of famed Little House on the Prairie author, Laura Ingalls Wilder.

And I always wondered why.

So I set about looking for her. . .in family letters, bits of biography and, mostly, through the words she spoke throughout the Little House series.

The Ma I thought I’d find wasn’t the one I discovered.

Would you like to meet her?

I think you’ll be happy that you did.
