Laura’s Shadow

by Kimberley Woodhouse Book 9 in the Doors to the Past series.

4.3(114)

De Smet, South Dakota, 1890. Mariah Patterson loves Cap Garland despite his continuing attachment to Laura Ingalls. Convinced that devotion can overcome both family expectations and Cap’s idealised memory of Laura, she risks reputation and security by declaring what she wants.

In 1974, Mariah’s great-granddaughter Trixie Gowan returns from Minneapolis to the family farm as the elderly woman begins revealing a secret that explains why Laura Ingalls’s name has long been forbidden in the household. Trixie’s investigation connects private resentment with the public mythology of the Little House books and alters her understanding of four generations of women.
