Docia’s Diary, A Novel (Historical Fiction)
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. Fate was not often kind to her and history has not been kind to her either. Docia has been called reckless, an unfit, neglectful mother, and many other unsavory things. But Docia was human; she failed and she fell but she always picked herself up and carried on. 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. Vilified, sidelined and nearly ignored by her famous niece, this her story, in her own words, at long last.
