It is May 1928 in Renton, Washington, when Mary Janette Miller enters the world. Three years later, she is surrounded by friends and her siblings while building magical sandcastle villages and pretending she is a pirate sailing the seas. Unfortunately, because Mary frequently gets distracted and into trouble, she must often escape to her favorite hiding place, underneath her bed, to avoid her mother’s crutches. A short time later after her parents decide to leave Renton for Butte, Montana, Mary embarks on a wild roller coaster ride through childhood as she attempts to navigate through the challenges prompted by the actions of her irresponsible, often absent, father. While growing up and maturing into womanhood amid the building of a famous city in the United States, the Great Depression, and the Second World War, Mary must overcome a variety of obstacles as she learns that having love in her heart leads to true happiness and joy, even through adversity and life’s greatest trials. The Storybook Adventures of Mary Miller is the fictionalized biography of an American girl who sets out on a unique coming-of-age journey in Butte, Montana, during the early twentieth century.

USA Today Bestseller! One of Refinery29's Best Reads of September In this novel authorized by the Little House Heritage Trust, Sarah Miller vividly recreates the beauty, hardship, and joys of the frontier in a dazzling work of historical fiction, a captivating story that illuminates one courageous, resilient, and loving pioneer woman as never before—Caroline Ingalls, "Ma" in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved Little House books. In the frigid days of February, 1870, Caroline Ingalls and her family leave the familiar comforts of the Big Woods of Wisconsin and the warm bosom of her family, for a new life in Kansas Indian Territory. Packing what they can carry in their wagon, Caroline, her husband Charles, and their little girls, Mary and Laura, head west to settle in a beautiful, unpredictable land full of promise and peril. The pioneer life is a hard one, especially for a pregnant woman with no friends or kin to turn to for comfort or help. The burden of work must be shouldered alone, sickness tended without the aid of doctors, and babies birthed without the accustomed hands of mothers or sisters. But Caroline’s new world is also full of tender joys. In adapting to this strange new place and transforming a rough log house built by Charles’ hands into a home, Caroline must draw on untapped wells of strength she does not know she possesses. For more than eighty years, generations of readers have been enchanted by the adventures of the American frontier’s most famous child, Laura Ingalls Wilder, in the Little House books. Now, that familiar story is retold in this captivating tale of family, fidelity, hardship, love, and survival that vividly reimagines our past.
