Back to the Prairie
Authored by our very own Melissa Gilbert, this instant NYT bestseller is a heartfelt (and often hilarious) 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 was always on the lookout for her next project. She just had no idea that her latest one would be completely life changing.
When the pandemic descends on the world, it 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.
