{"product_id":"the-wilder-life-isbn-9781594485688","title":"The Wilder Life","description":"Wendy McClure is on a quest to find the world of beloved \u003ci\u003eLittle House on the Prairie\u003c\/i\u003e author Laura Ingalls Wilder—a fantastic realm of fiction, history, and places she’s never been to, yet somehow knows by heart. She traces the pioneer journey of the Ingalls family— looking for the Big Woods among the medium trees in Wisconsin, wading in Plum Creek, and enduring a prairie hailstorm in South Dakota. She immerses herself in all things \u003ci\u003eLittle House\u003c\/i\u003e—exploring the story from fact to fiction, and from the TV shows to the annual summer pageants in Laura’s hometowns. Whether she’s churning butter in her apartment or sitting in a replica log cabin, McClure is always in pursuit of “the Laura experience.” The result is an incredibly funny first-person account of obsessive reading, and a story about what happens when we reconnect with our childhood touchstones—and find that our old love has only deepened.\u003cb\u003eWendy McClure\u003c\/b\u003e has been writing about her obsessions for nearly a decade, both online and in print. She is the author of the 2005 memoir \u003ci\u003eI’m Not the New Me\u003c\/i\u003e and a columnist for BUST magazine, and has contributed to The \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThis American Life\u003c\/i\u003e. She works as a children’s book editor and lives in Chicago with her husband.","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304120701157,"sku":"NP9781594485688","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781594485688.jpg?v=1767742220","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-wilder-life-isbn-9781594485688","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
