Full title: Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Olsen and Learned to Love Being Hated
Before I start, just a tip - do yourself a favor and listen to the audiobook narrated by Alison! It adds so much to the story.
Alison tells her entire life story from her parent's history, through her life at home which is terrible, to say the least, through her time at Little House and after. She continues telling the story of her friendship with her Little House husband and his subsequent death from AIDS. She also discusses Michael Landon's death and the impact it had on her.
There are so many behind the scenes stories that any Little House on the Prairie fan will be in love. I found myself knowing exactly what episodes were being discussed and laughed when little tidbits of information were shared. I knew this book was going to be good but I was unprepared for how emotional and revealing it is.
