Quotes by Caroline Fraser (?)

“She was never overcome by drabness or squalor. She never glamorized anything; yet she saw the loveliness in everything.”
― Caroline Fraser, Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder

“But as adults, we have come to see that her autobiographical novels were not only fictionalized but brilliantly edited, in a profound act of American myth-making and self-transformation. As unpublished manuscripts, letters, and documents have come to light, we have begun to apprehend the scope of her life, a story that needs to be fully told, in its historical context, as she lived it. That tale is different from the one she wrote. It is an adult story of poverty, struggle, and reinvention—a great American drama in three acts.”
― Caroline Fraser, Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder

“His most remarkable gift, as Laura saw it, was a deep and profound contentment with what he had.”
