She faced many challenges in her life. First, when she was a child she suffered from malnutrition during the "Long Winter." Also her younger brother Charles JR died. Mary went blind when she was 12 and she became her eyes. Her first years of her marriage weren't easy at all eaither. Almanzo came down with Diphtheria and was crippled. Their crops were destroyed by a hail storm and her only son died in infancy. They didn't get a chance to name him so he is known as "Baby Boy Wilder." During her writing career she was told by many publishers that she was wasting her time writing for children and her books were turned down by many.
