The New Little House was born of my love for the book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Growing up I always wanted to live her life. Now that I’m grown I still feel a parallel to her stories. I grew up in Northern Michigan (Laura in Wisconsin) and lived several years in Kansas (just like Laura), and now I’m living in Colorado (not quite Minnesota or South Dakota, but still rural and wild). The hardships are different, yet the same. Our lives are not the same yet the stories of Laura are still relatable.
