I grew up reading Laura Ingalls Wilder and became enamored with the writer and her stories. I read them over and over. Now, I know the truth.

Albert did a fantastic job explaining why Rose Wilder Lane felt obligated to help her mother create such classics during the Depression.

Fabulous research went into the writing. I want to read Lane's work.

I wrote that every American is governed by the principle of personal responsibility and that his or her most important freedom is the absolute freedom to flourish or fail.

But at the same time, I saw many more people who, as individuals, free individuals, were finding their own way to survive the impositions of the bureaucracy, using the American wealth of resources and their own wealth of creativity. I saw farmers who refused to accept checks drawn on the public funds. I saw men and women quietly paying their debts and going about cheerfully in the daytime, finding God only knows what strength during the night.

@TheAromaofBooks is doing a neat way to read your tbr books that you own. On the second of each month, she will spin a number and that will be what you read. #bookspin

TheAromaofBooks @Mynameisacolour - isn't it fun?? I can't even explain exactly why lol I added you to my list of people to tag at the end of January so you can join us for the February spin!! 5y

Butterfinger @TheAromaofBooks @Mynameisacolour I think it is the build up of anticipation. The week before summer, my girls and I make a list of things we want to do and each day we take turns drawing. It is just fun to see. Thank you for coming up with the idea. 5y

TheAromaofBooks What a FUN idea! I love it! You're right, the anticipation is definitely part of it - and it always helps when there are no bad choices!! I think it's also a good feeling to not have the pressure of the choice - let the fates decide! 😁 5y
