Millions of readers of Little House on the Prairie believe they know Laura Ingalls - the pioneer girl who survived…
blizzards and near-starvation on the Great Plains, and the woman who wrote the famous autobiographical books. But the true story of her life has never been fully told. Now, drawing on unpublished manuscripts, letters, diaries, and land and financial records, Caroline Fraser - the editor of the Library of America edition of the Little House series - masterfully fills in the gaps in Wilder's biography, setting the record straight regarding charges of ghostwriting that have swirled around the books and uncovering the grown-up story behind the most influential childhood epic of pioneer life. Set against nearly a century of epochal change, from the Homestead Act and the Indian Wars to the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, Wilder's dramatic life provides a unique perspective on American history and our national mythology of self-reliance. Winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Biography. 2017.

Barbara Feinman Todd has spent a lifetime helping other people tell their stories. In 1982, fresh out of college, she…
began her career as a copy aide at the Washington Post and was instantly hooked on the smell (cigarettes, newsprint), the noise (yelling editors, the clacking of typewriter keys), and the energy of the newsroom. At the Post, she worked for Bob Woodward, first as his research assistant in the paper's investigative unit and, later, as his personal researcher for "Veil", his bestselling book on the CIA. A recommendation from Woodward led her to help his Watergate partner Carl Bernstein, who was struggling to finish his memoir, "Loyalties". She then assisted legendary editor Ben Bradlee on his autobiography "A Good Life", and Hillary Clinton on her bestselling "It Takes a Village". Revealing what it's like to get into the heads and hearts of some of our most compelling and powerful figures, Feinman offers authentic portraits that go beyond the carefully polished public personas she helped them create. 2017.
