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.
