The First Four Years is about Laura and Almanzo's first four years of being married. Everything seems perfect just Laura and Almanzo, but every year brings catastrophic events: storms, sickness, fire, and unpaid debts. There is still love especially for the newest member of the Wilder family baby Rose. It is both a sad book and a happy one because the Laura series is coming to a close but the Rose series is just beginning.
