I don't think it's Habegger's fault really; it's a problem I've had with other scholarly biographies, which is why I don't read biographies that often. Even the most exciting people always seem to have a decade somewhere or other where nothing much happens in their lives, but their biographers feel duty-bound to write something about it anyway.

She wrote three other books set in Deep Valley: Winona's Pony Cart, Carney's House Party, and Emily of Deep Valley. My favorite of the three is Emily of Deep Valley, which is about a shy orphan girl who lives with her grandfather and needs to build a new social life for herself after graduating high school; all her friends have gone to college, but she can't because her grandfather is frail.
