About this title

Review:

"The story centers on Rose's adventures and scrapes, and like its models, pays tribute to the strength and security of a close family." -- "Publishes Weekly""A fine continuation of the beloved chronicle, in similar attractive format (including quietly evocative soft-pencil illustrations of places and things). . . . Peaceful, wholesome fare." -- "The Kirkus Reviews" "Wilder fans will eagerly absorb this latest offering, and a few of the chapters will make terrific read-alouds."-- "ALA Booklist""A worthy continuation of [the Little House] series."-- "School Library Journal"

Rose leaves Rocky Ridge Farm, first for Kansas City to learn how to be a telegrapher, then for San Francisco. Her dream is to work for a year or two, save a little money, and then marry her childhood sweetheart. But the big city has a few surprises in store for Rose.
