Even her unpolished memoir, \u003ci\u003ePioneer Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, which tells the true story behind the children's books, was widely embraced upon its release in 2014. Despite Wilder's enduring popularity, few fans know much about her Christian beliefs and practice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e John J. Fry shines a light on Wilder's quiet faith in this unique biography.
