Book Of The Month:

Caroline

by Sarah Miller

In Caroline, Sarah Miller reimagines Little House on the Prairie from the perspective of Caroline Ingalls, the steadfast mother behind Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved stories. Through rich historical detail and intimate emotion, Miller brings to life Caroline’s resilience, fears, and quiet strength as she navigates the hardships of frontier life — pregnant, uprooted, and determined to keep her family safe on an uncertain journey west. A beautifully written, immersive novel that offers a deeper, more complex look at the woman who held the Ingalls family together.
