Wendy McClure is on a quest to find the world of beloved Little House on the Prairie author Laura Ingalls Wilder--a fantastic realm of fiction, history, and places shes never been to, yet somehow knows by heart. She traces the pioneer journey of the Ingalls family-- looking for the Big Woods among the medium trees in Wisconsin, wading in Plum Creek, and enduring a prairie hailstorm in South Dakota. She immerses herself in all things Little House--exploring the story from fact to fiction, and from the TV shows to the annual summer pageants in Lauras hometowns. Whether shes churning butter in her apartment or sitting in a replica log cabin, McClure is always in pursuit of the Laura experience. The result is an incredibly funny first-person account of obsessive reading, and a story about what happens when we reconnect with our childhood touchstones--and find that our old love has only deepened.About the Author:Wendy McClure has been writing about her obsessions for nearly a decade, both online and in print. She is the author of the 2005 memoir Im Not the New Me and a columnist for BUST magazine, and has contributed to The New York Times Magazine and This American Life. She works as a childrens book editor and lives in Chicago with her husband.
