Publisher Description
Includes a foreword written and read by Timothy Busfield
The New York Times bestselling author and star of Little House on the Prairie returns with a hilarious and heartfelt memoir chronicling her journey from Hollywood to a ramshackle house in the Catskills during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Known for her childhood role as Laura Ingalls Wilder on the classic NBC show Little House on the Prairie, Melissa Gilbert has spent nearly her entire life in Hollywood. From Dancing with the Stars to a turn in politics, she is always on the lookout for her next project. She just had no idea that her latest one would be completely life changing.
When her husband introduces her to the wilds of rural Michigan, Melissa begins to fall back in love with nature. And when work takes them to New York, they find a rustic cottage in the Catskill Mountains to call home. But “rustic” is a generous description for the state of the house, requiring a lot of blood, sweat, and tears for the newlyweds to make habitable.
When the pandemic descends on the world, it further nudges Melissa out of the spotlight and into the woods. She trades Botox treatments for DIY projects, power lunching for gardening and raising chickens, and soon her life is rediscovered anew in her own little house in the Catskills.
Customer Reviews
Political bashing
It’s unfortunate when we’d like to be entertained by Hollywood and they do nothing but cram their liberal agenda politics down our throat while bashing conservatives. This book it littered with it and it’s completely out of place and unnecessary. Overreaching and desperate.
Politics always will be a turn off
This book sounds like it was written out of desperation for ?? I don’t what… but when she started bringing up politics , I stopped reading. Clearly, she doesn’t know her audience. This will ultimately turn off many people. Not a smart business decision. Can I return this book?
Love
I love this book! She’s amazing at everything she does, this book is no exception. Describing “the cabbage”, I could feel like I was there. I pictured exactly what it looked and smelled like. Learning about her father and family after the fact, I understand. Very well written, and spoken. Interesting to hear about her campaign as well! Love love love
