The book is divided into two sections: (1) Laura's life and writings and (2) Excerpts from documents about Laura's writing and its influence. Ms. Ketcham addresses the questions concerning the use of Laura's Little House books in schools today; Little House on the Prairie is especially racist.
The weakest point about the book is that whenever Ms. Ketcham referred to Laura's autobiography, Pioneer Girl, it was to a manuscript copy housed in the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library where a large collection of Rose Wilder Lane's materials are housed -- not the annotated edition, edited by Pamela Smith Hill and published by the South Dakota Historical Society Press in 2014.
