That Heartwarming Little House

Little House on the Prairie has captured the hearts of many for generations. It is one of my favorite book series. The television show is good too, but it's not as awesome as the books.

The Little House books have wholesome, Christian family values, and stories filled with adventure. I have always loved books about the journey westward, and while the Ingalls family doesn't go that far west, in my mind the books still count as that sort of adventure. 

The story of Laura Ingalls, her older sister Mary, her younger sister Carrie, and their Ma & Pa, the Little House books follow the Ingalls family in their journey west. Written by Laura, she tells her memories of their search for a place to call home, their adventures with new friends, old friends, rivals, school, Indians, and much more! The Ingalls family faces many hardships, but always remembers to count their blessings, and to trust in God.

This series brought me much joy as a child, though I didn't finish the series until years later. It always made me smile to see how the Ingalls family never really lost hope, even through the struggles they faced.
