Prairie Tale: A Memoir by Melissa Gilbert
4.0
lovely read
Filled with the messiest and juiciest of tidbits from 80s Brat Pack Hollywood, this was definitely a worthy read. From Little House to mid 40s, Melissa has lived a full life while never really shedding that âHalf Pintâ persona. She shows that weâre all a product of our upbringing, and shows why we might gravitate towards people that arenât always best for us. She unflinchingly shares her personal struggles and accomplishments from drug use and alcoholism to SAG President and Momma. She is a product of Hollywood, but by the end of the book, sheâs living on her own terms for the first time in her life. One of the few memoirs Iâve read that I couldnât put down.
