Product Description
A FASCINATING, HEARTBREAKING, AND ULTIMATELY UPLIFTING TALE OF SELF-DISCOVERY FROM THE BELOVED ACTRESS WHO EARNED A PERMANENT PLACE IN THE HEARTS OF MILLIONS WHEN SHE WAS JUST A CHILD
To fans of the hugely successful television series Small House on the Prairie, Melissa Gilbert grew up in a fantasy world with a larger-than-life father, friends and family tree she could count on, and plenty of animals to play with. Children across the country dreamed of the Ingalls’ idyllic life—and so did Melissa.
With candor and humor, the cherished actress traces her intricate journey from buck-toothed Laura “Halfpint” Ingalls to Hollywood starlet, wife, and mother. She partied with the Brat Pack, dated heartthrobs like Rob Lowe and terrible boys like Billy Idol, and started a self-destructive pattern of addiction and codependence. She eventually realized that her career on television had earned her popularity, admiration, and like from everyone but herself.
Through hard work, tenacity, sobriety, and the blessings of a levelheaded marriage, Melissa has accepted her many different identities and learned to laugh, weep, and forgive in new ways. Women everywhere may have idolized her charming life on Small House on the Prairie, but Melissa’s own unexpectedly honest, imperfect, and down-to-planet tale is an inspiration.

This book (Prairie Tale) arrived to me with pages ripped out, highlighted areas and words had been whited out! Also, it took three weeks after ordering to arrive. Not pleased!

I bought the novel on August 7th and was very excited about it. I could not wait to read this book. I waited for 2 weeks, never recieved the item, emailed the seller, did not hear back, the getting date was changed, waited another 2 weeks or so, never got the novel, email again and have not heard a word.
It has been one month today and do not know where to turn. The seller had my money within a couple of days of buy and I have NO book. WHAT TO DO?????????????
I have checked since purchasing about the seller and she has a record of this kind of stuff. From now on I will check this prior to purchasing anything. We have bought LOTS of things on line (even a vehicle) and NEVER had a problem like this.

I’ve been a huge fan of Melissa’s for most of my life and had a childhood crush on her. She’s still as gorgeous as ever in my opinion. I absolutely loved and still like Small House and watch it & most of her TV movies even in repeat. I didn’t know about her troubles or even her drinking problem but you know what, we are all flawed and this only goes to show Melissa is just as human as the rest of us. It’s excellent to hear Melissa has been sober for 5 years. It’s nice to hear when people overcome their problems, but really that’s what Small House was permanently about, like and having the inner might to overcome diversity. I haven’t gotten the book yet (just ordered it) but I know I will like it. Some entertainers just got the “IT” factor and Melissa is one of the best. I still miss Michael Landon to this day and look forwards to reading about him and additional tales in this book. I know I’ll be reading this book in like 1 or 2 days at the most. Some people say entertainers change their lives but I mean it when I say that Melissa and Michael Landon has had a very positive influence on my life and inspired me to keep going even in the roughest of times. Thanks Melissa for all your fantastic work past, present and future!

I loved Small House, I even named my daughter Laura. I wish I hadnt read this book. The problem I have with Melissa Gilbert is her drama queen behavior. She has such a huge ego. Of course she made mistakes, we all have, but she expects everyone to rally around her when she breaks a fingernail..Please, there are more imortant things going on in the world than you Melissa!!
