On the Banks of the Bayou by Roger Lea MacBride
5.0
Rose is actually the daughter that I read the most comprehensively. And her books are how I know what pioneer and frontier life was like, after the Midwest became a bit more settled.
In this book, Rose leaves her home to live with her Aunt Eliza (we first met her in Farmer Boy, in the Laura series) in Louisiana. It was wonderful to learn about the culture and the history from such a point of view! Most historical fiction books focus on the party life, but Rose has strong ideals for the future of women! She lives in a pivotal part of the turn of the century and Rose is definitely smack dab in the middle of it!
It was a great book, and I wouldn't mind reading it again!
