Docia's Diary

A Novel

By: Elizabeth Fairweather

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Docia Ingalls was more than just the little sister of Charles "Pa" Ingalls from the Little House books. She was a spirited, fiercely independent, passionate woman, who experienced love, heartbreak, hard work, trials, and tribulations, but kept on going. She was a true pioneer woman from the hardy stock that filled the Ingalls family. A romantic, loving and naive young woman, she married twice, divorced once and birthed and raised nine children all the while doing the best she could with what she had. Married to an alcoholic whom she loved despite his faults, Docia carried her family and their fate on her thin, yet strong shoulders. An imperfect person from a legendary and beloved family, Docia followed her heart and lived a life of adventure, sadness, love and ultimately, satisfaction. This is her story, in her own words, at long last.

A beautiful story of a strong woman

sometimes stories like these can feel disconnected or repetitive, but not this one! it could stand alone as a great story, but it also interweaves with the Little House books beautifully. you could call it a coming of age story. the auto voice reading it sounds off sometimes but for the most part reads naturally

What an Incredible Story

Social Ingalls did not live an easy life. But she was an incredibly strong woman.
