Interesting book!

I really enjoyed this book! It's based on one of Laura Ingall's students, Mariah. Trixie, Mariahs's great granddaughter is called to her bedside in what is believed to be her final days. During that visit, Trixie learns some things about her past that she never knew. Mariah was in love with a man named Oscar ( Cap Garland) but her was in love with Laura. Mariah has many struggles including marrying a man she doesn't love but she becomes stronger through her difficulties. This strength she passes on to her great-granddaughter. This book has themes of love, family and strength.… (meer)

I really enjoyed this book. It had a different feel to it then a lot of books I read. It goes back and forth between present day and chapters of a book that was written by a woman who lived at the Menger Hotel in 1915. In present day Dini is a magician who is fascinated by/obsessed with Hedda Krause. Hedda claimed that a ghost lured her from her room and when she returned all of her jewels had been stolen. Dini meets Quin who's ancestor was the detective that investigated the robbery. Together they try to figure out what happened.
I found this book very interesting and a bit creepy at times but highly enjoyable and hard to put down.

This was a charming story with not one but two love stories! The characters are done well and the pace moves well with the story. The descriptions of the settings were one of my favorite parts! They were rich and vivid making it easy to picture and experience everything right alongside the characters! The pace was a little slow and I didn't really care for some of the characters but I did still enjoy the story! Thank you Just Read Tours for sharing this book with me!

As a girl, I grew up reading the Little House on the Prarie Series and watching Little House on the Prairie. So when I had the opportunity to read Laura’s Shadow, I found myself eagerly anticipating reading the book. Because Laura in the title Laura’s Shadow refers to Laura Ingalls Wilder. I found the story to be engaging and worth reading. Being a city girl myself who found myself preferring life in the country, I could relate to this book.

As part of the Doors to the Past series, this book includes dual timelines. In the past in 1890, Mariah Patterson breaks two rules of her community by going out in a snowstorm and giving her heart to Cap Garland. In 1974, Trixie Gowan creates a comic strip centered around a young woman living on the prairie who longs to live in the city.

Maybe because I experienced years of four generations being in the same house or at least in the same church and family gatherings with my husband’s family, I found myself caught up in this story. Sometimes secrets need to be revealed without the words being directly spoken.

So if you enjoy dual timeline stories or stories revolving around the characters of the Little House on the Prairie series, check out this book for yourself. I definitely recommend it.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.
