Hi Lyn Cote here!
My newest series, "Wilderness Brides" debuts this
month with the release of Their Frontier
Family, book one. I chose my home state Wisconsin because I think it's
overlooked as a setting for homesteading prairie romances (though Their
Frontier Family has elements of a Western too) and I chose Pepin because it
sits on the Mississippi River so that means a lot of strangers coming
and going
and going
and BECAUSE A FAMOUS AMERICAN WAS BORN THERE! Who?
Here are some hints:
·
She's a well known person whose life was
fictionalized.
·
Children all over the world read about her life.
·
Her story inspired a long-running popular TV
series.
·
Her daughter also wrote and edited her stories.
·
Who is she?
If you've read my book, you already know. I'll give away a
copy of Their Frontier Family to the first person who gives the right answer
AND tells me the name of her daughter!
Also several other Love Inspired Historical Authors, to be
specific:

Well, you have me stumped. I could easily google it, but that wouldn't be fair. I have to admit that I am not up on American Literature. I'll have to pop back to find out!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love trivia. Kudos for getting my brain kickstarted this morning.
Is it Laura Ingalls Wilder and her daughter also a an author is named Rose Wilder Lane
ReplyDeleteI'm with Carissa. I didn't Google so I'm trying to remember if the first in the series was Little House in the Big Wood. Was it Carissa? I need to reread them. I love them and later I loved the Grandmother Attic series which was similar but set a little bit later.
ReplyDeleteCarissa wins! But everyone can email an author for a copy of the recipe booklet!
ReplyDeleteAw, I just got in from exercise class at the Y ~ I too was born in Wisconsin and actually have Rose's books on my bookshelf. So the Pepin WI author is Laura Ingalls Wilder and her author daughter Rose Wilder Lane, Young Pioneers; Old Hometown; Let the Hurricane Roar.
ReplyDeleteWords From a Fearless Heart is a great collection of Laura's point of view of what really matters.

ReplyDeleteFun.

I am just happy I knew the answer and have the book on my Kindle now!
ReplyDeletePeace, Julie
You ladies are a classy group!
ReplyDeleteI knew the answer but I did see it mentioned somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteI love the Little house books and also a few of the older ones like the one about Laura going to the world fair bit forget where that was.
I still have some of the books I got as a teen.
My initial "guess" was Laura Ingalls Wilder. I think I had read it somewhere before. Yes, Wisconsin does need more "fiction" attention. I'm just across the "pond" in Michigan, and have been discovering some excellent books based in Michigan recently.
ReplyDeletePamelaTracy,
ReplyDeleteYes Little House in the Big Woods is the first book.
And you ladies are SMART!
ReplyDeleteI'll be sending Carissa her copy soon!
ReplyDeletePepin was the home of my mother-in-law and, of course, Laura Ingalls Wilder. I have never had the chance to visit the town, but my husband spent time many summers there visiting his grandparents. His uncle owned the Pharmacy in town and it was near the train and Lake Pepin. A lovely place so I'm told.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky guy, Connie!
ReplyDeleteThe recipe booklet sounds wonderful, thanks so much!
