I am 32 year old mother of four and have read Laura's book since about age 8. So 24 years - Wow!

This book is a wonderful ending for the Caroline years and really portrayed the Ma I feel we all know from the original books. That strength she showed while teaching the little school reminded me of the Caroline that stood up to Indians, survived the Long Winter, and taught her daughters to be ladies not matter how primative the living conditions.

I love Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" series. I didn't read them until I was 16 years old, but I love them as much as if I'd grown up with them.

I was a bit leary to try anything about Laura's family that wasn't written by her. But when I saw that "A Little House of Their Own" was about Ma and Pa courting, I knew I had to try it. I did, and I loved it!

It stayed true to Ma's character (as Laura portrayed her) and gave a picture of growing up, teaching school, and first love. Now that I know what to expect, I plan to go back and read the other Caroline stories.

I am a 14 year old reader of the Little House series. That may sound strange, but I've been reading these books since I was little, and I find myself still drawn to them. One of the reasons I liked this book so much was because of the romance.

In the 7th book, and final book in the Caroline years, Caroling starts teaching at the Concord school. She finds the Summer term easier then she thought. She helps her students, one in particular, with a good grace and care. Then, in the middle of the winter term, she finds herself facing greater challenges as the older boys come to school. She has to discipline them, even though she doesn't want to, and is faced with an upset father.

Meanwhile, Charles Ingalls, who she saw after two years on Independence Day, is showing more interest in Caroline. Her sisters, Eliza and Martha, tell her that ie is obviously interested in her, but Caroline doesn't believe it, though the thought of it makes her smile.

Will he ask her to marry him? Will she say yes? The ending of the story will answer all of your questions about the relationship, and you realize how much Caroline has grown up in the series.

One of the classics of America are the Little House Series. But, I doubt that many have heard about A Little House of Their Own, probably the last book to the Caroline Years. This book connects the Caroline books to the Laura books from Caroline's marriage to Charles Ingalls.

I loved reading about the pioneers of the 1800s, and how they endured life during that time period. This story starts with Caroline Quiner becoming the teacher of Concord School. As Caroline learns the difficulties and the rewards of teaching school, she meets Charles Ingalls, her childhood fiddle-playing friend, now a grown man. Before she can realize though, Caroline's friendship with Charles turns to courtship, and this gives Caroline a difficult choice about love or family.

Will Caroline choose to leave her family with her love, or stay with her family, but leave Charles? Will Caroline be brave enough to travel west? Only you can answer these questions by reading A Little House of Their Own!

I purchased this book at Barnes & Noble, and I'm so glad that I did-this book was so wonderful, from beginning to end! I had to read it two times, and I'm planning to read it again a third time this weekend. This is the Caroline Ingalls we all know and love. I want to get more books about her. This book has also interested me in learning more about pioneer life in the 19th century. I won't tell you about what happens, but get this book-you won't be disappointed! Totally recommended!

A great book about Laura's Mom and her ponderings in her days of teaching. Will Caroline Quiner continue her teachings or will she go off on lots of adventures with Charles Ingalls who plans to head west in search of fame and fortune? -- Only you can find out when you read the book.

Any of the Little house series are great. Happy Reading everyone.

There are many different types of events that occurs during this book. There are a few extremely hard decisions that have to be made in the book. There is close chemistry within the book, and it ends up in a life long commitment. If you want to see more about this, and more about other events, then buy or borrow a copy of this book, and you will thoroughly enjoy it!

I loved reading the history of Caroline Quiner Ingalls (I now have all 7 of them). Knowing the story of Laura Ingalls' mother was fasinating. I also have all 11 books on Laura Ingalls Wilder and all 8 books on Rose Wilder Lane (Laura's daughter). I find them very hard to put down and re-read them constantly.

This is an amazing book!! Caroline is my favorite Little House girl to read about (next to Laura of course!!) and I'm so glad that this book has Charles in it again!!!! And as people have said in the past, Caroline has grown up so much from Little House in Brookfield to this book. I give this book an A++++!!

This one was so wonderful, I don't know how acurrate it is, but nontheless I love it. This book is about Caroline's years as a young woman teacher, and her courtship with Charles Ingalls.
I was endeared to everything, particulary the stories of her teaching terms. She helps this child of a drunk, whom is a student of hers, and desperatly wants to learn. I really see the kindess and compassion of Caroline's nature come out here, and I love it. I also like Charles Ingalls and his respect for Caroline, I just loved the entire book. I'm glad it the first I got.
