No, Laura was not always happy but her personal strengths of determination and a competetive spirit, together with her faith in God prevented her from falling in a heap when difficult times came.

There were many such times in her life - the illness which robbed her beloved sister Mary of her sight, the tense encounters with Indians in Indian Territory, the death of her baby brother ( a period of time she omitted from any of her books), the near starvation of her family during the Long Winter, the death of her own newborn son followed within weeks by the burning of their home, financial hardships due to a series of droughts, the loss of their life savings in the depression Stock Market crash, and the death of Almanzo all were bleak periods in her life. Her parents had taught her to accept such events as a normal par of life.
