I love this book. It is the story of Michael Landon as told by his loving step-daughter. There are a few behind the scenes stories of Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie. It dealt with the fun side of his persona along with the sad story of his leaving the family. (Sounds like he had a mid-life crisis.) It also addressed the end of his life as he faced pancreatic cancer.
Wilson's story gave me an appreciation of who he was and how he pulled through some very difficult life situations.

I would highly recommend the book.
