Because her sister Mary was recently blinded due to an illness, Pa asks Laura to "be Marys eyes" by describing what she sees, and Laura becomes more patient and mature through this service. The book also introduces Laura's youngest sister Grace Pearl. "One always hesitates as to whether these stories of Laura Wilder's childhood belong with fiction or non-fiction. A splendidly written contribution to factual frontier material, of special interest to the Middle Western market." Virginia Kirkus for Kirkus Reviews.
