I read this book because, as many girls did in the 1970's, I loved Little House on the Prairie the television show and I idolized Melissa Gilbert. I had hoped there would be more insight to her time on Little House on the Prairie, but I was not disappointed with the book. I found her story interesting. She does not seem to be bragging about her life and all the people she has rubbed elbows with, but instead telling about choices she made in her life and how they have brought her to the place she is now. Even though many idolized her as I did, it is good to know that she is human and loves and lives and makes mistakes like the rest of us.
An interesting read. ( )

Was reading it so quickly and then toward the end it really dragged. Enjoyed reading about her time on movies and of course Little House, her marriages and children. Did not enjoy reading about her time as "president" or her alcoholism. The book was not well written and did not flow well. I think she should stick to acting. ( )

I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie, so I just love Melissa Gilbert. This memoir is very interesting. She talks about all her men, her struggles with alcohol, and about how her need to please caused her lots of problems throughout her life. I like her even more after reading her book. ( )

Melissa Gilbert's memoir of life during and after starring on Little House. Probably only interesting to those of us who wanted to be Laura when we were little! And possibly people interested in the personal lives of celebrities. No huge surprises, except her role as President of SAG.

Best memoir I've read in awhile! Grew up loving LHOP, and enjoyed the stories Melissa shares in the book. ( )
