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 Little House on the Prarie when she was just a child.To fans of the hugely successful television series Little House on the Prairie, 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. 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. 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 Little House on the Prairie, but Melissa’s own unexpectedly honest, imperfect, and down-to-earth story is an inspiration.

I have always loved Melissa Gilbert as an actress and I really enjoyed her Memoir.Not too much surprised me regarding Hollywood and the excess of egos, sex, cheating, drinking, drugs, violence and the complete ignorance of it all.I was surprised that she came from a family full of actresses and/or actors.Yes, I knew her sister Sara was an actress but not her entire family.Sadly, as all child actresses &/or actors their parents, or in this case her mother, pushed her to be the perfect child and actress.NO MATTER WHAT - EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!!!Her mother would ignore anything that did not fit into her perfect world and did not discuss anything that did not fit into her perfect world. (Sounds like typical Hollywood)Unfortunately, her mother had a big effect on Melissa.Even Michael Landon whom Melissa looked up to as a father figure was no better. He pushed her on the set of Little House on the Prairie."Now, that's not going to happen again!!!"She is a child and as all children they need guidance and nurturing.NOT LECTURES AND SCOWLING FACES.He also had a big effect on Melissa.I am 2 years younger than Melissa but as much as I tried I did not like the show Little House on the Prairie.Specifically, because of Michael Landon. Even at my young age I could not figure out why Michael Landon always had his shirt off during a period of time which Little House on the Prairie was suppose to be set. Plus, there was something about him I just did not care for at all. Arrogance!!!Melissa was even too hard on herself regarding many issues but the main issue was being adopted.Sadly, meeting her blood relatives was extremely heart wrenching. It was not a heart warming experience in any way shape or form. She should have left the past in the past and focused on the family that raised her and loved her no matter what.No family is perfect by any means.She could have shortened up her love life with Rob Lowe and Bo Brinkman.Rob and Bo the ultimate liars and cheaters.Bo's violent temper - Good Grief.Amazingly, they blamed Melissa.Really - what a couple of Schmucks!!!Melissa was married to Bruce Boxleitner when she wrote her Memoir.It would have been interesting to read more about the other side of Bruce after the divorce. While reading this it was obvious that Bruce could throw temper tantrums like an 2 year old. Interesting for a grown man.He stated to Melissa when they started dating that he did not want to get married again or have anymore children. Well, he asked Melissa to marry him and then they had a son. Exactly what he did not want.What a Schmuck!!!I wished Melissa had discussed some of the other actresses &/or actors that she had worked with such as; Diane Ladd, Eileen Brennan, Talia Shire, Lindsey Wagner, Rosanna Arquette, Scott Valentine, Cyril O'Reilly, David Andrews, George Dzundza, Costas Mandylor, Brian Wimmer, Gregory Harrison, and (my favorite 😚) Joe Penny. Just to name a few.She did tell a wonderful story about working with Patty Duke on the remake of the Miracle Worker.The one chapter that did truly shock me was that Melissa decided to mention whom she lost her virginity too and she even gave his name and thanked him.That was a little much considering Melissa was 16 and he was 22. In any other state than California or in any other world than Hollywood that would be considered "Statutory Rape". Regardless, if it was consensual.Okay, onto bigger and better things. Melissa grew into a beautiful actress and the President of SAG.I will totally disagree with another review which claimed Melissa was name dropping. When you work in the business from a child actress to an adult actress and then become the President of SAG it would only make sense if she mentioned certain people's names.The Memoir would have made no sense without it.I am very proud of Melissa for all her accomplishments. I am even more proud of her that she has reached an age in which she can come to terms with alot of her issues and takes responsibility for the mistakes that she has made.She will continue to be a force to be reckoned with as an actress and a beautiful woman.Melissa's "Prairie Tale" A Memoir is the only memoir I have ever been interested in reading.I am very thankful that I did read her memoir as it gave me more insight into Melissa and her remarkable journey thru life. Her incredible sense of humor and poking fun at herself definitely helped with her journey.All journeys have there ups and downs. Melissa's final journey has landed her on a definite up note.Thank you Melissa for being so open and honest. An ordinary woman with ordinary problems. Melissa Gilbert is human and makes mistakes just like the rest of us. I could not put this book down. Fastest book I've ever read.I highly recommend "Prairie Tale" A Memoir if you are a Melissa Gilbert fan.You will not be disappointed.
