A great read. As a fan of the books and TV show it was fun to hear an insider's perspective. Alison Arngrim would make a fascinating friend.

I wish I could give this 4 1/2 stars. It's no Lonesome Dove, Hold Love Strong or A Tree Grows in Brooklyn but it wasn't trying to be and it is awesome. It's funny and heartbreaking and gives some dirt without hurting anyone. I love that she embraces what she became known for instead of resenting it and I think I would love to be friends with her! I also love that she used her fame to do good, her work with AIDS and child abuse victims is so inspirational, and I love that she said Larry King had a HUGE head hahaha.

Ok, so she is amazing. I read it for her Little House stories, which were awesome, but was blown away by her personal history (her mom was the voice of Gumby!!) and her work with people affected by both HIV/AIDS and childhood sexual assault. She is both hilarious and a hero.

Really enjoyed this. Very well written. Touching, sad, funny as hell, interesting story and not just about Little House. Couldn’t put it down and finished it in like 2-3 days. Would recommend!

This was fabulous! Nellie was always my fave on LHotP and this memoir proves I had good taste when I was young ;) Alison is hilarious, strong, smart, wonderful.
