Helpful Score: 5
This book is a very thoughtfully written memoir by Melissa Gilbert, who we know best as Laura Ingalls in the Little House on the Prairie series.
Melissa worked hard to give readers what they were looking for but in small doses. She gives a glimpse at what it was like as a child actor on hit show with the great Michael Landon as her mentor. Being an avid Little House fan, this section left me wanting more.
The bulk of her memoir talks about her life from the teenage years to the current year. You will learn about all her romances and the tv movies she made.Famous friends and lovers as well as a few foes. She bravely details her life struggles which she honestly bares for the reader. She also tells of her successful stint as the SAG president for two terms. You will definitely get a peek into the Hollywood life and Melissa's inner circle. Her marriage and relationship with husband Bruce Boxleitner and their children is also shared. Melissa chronologically shares her life and peppers it with her humor and a few colorful words.
It was very interesting especially if you are a Melissa Gilbert fan. Several family pictures are shared as well as some professional ones including two with Michael Landon.
Definitely worth your time if you like Melissa Gilbert. I found it hard to put down. Enjoy!
