<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A fascinating, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting tale of self-discovery from the beloved actress who earned a permanent place in the hears of millions for her role in <i>Little House on the Prarie </i>when she was just a child.</b> <p/>To fans of the hugely successful television series <i>Little House on the Prairie</i>, Melissa Gilbert grew up in a fantasy world with a larger-than-life father, friends and family 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. <p/> With candor and humor, the cherished actress traces her complicated 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 bad boys like Billy Idol, and began a self-destructive pattern of addiction and codependence. She eventually realized that her career on television had earned her popularity, admiration, and love from everyone but herself. <p/> Through hard work, tenacity, sobriety, and the blessings of a solid marriage, Melissa has accepted her many different identities and learned to laugh, cry, and forgive in new ways. Women everywhere may have idolized her charming life on <i>Little House on the Prairie</i>, but Melissa's own unexpectedly honest, imperfect, and down-to-earth story is an inspiration.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Hold onto your sunbonnets...
