Grassle, who rose to fame as ""Ma"" Caroline Ingalls on the hit 1970s show Little House on the Prairie, shares tales from her path to Hollywood as well as behind-the-scenes drama during that seminal series. A childhood in Southern California led Grassle to the stage in San Francisco and New York, but eventually she returned to the West to try her luck in television and film. She quickly landed the plum role of Ma in Little House, and when the show made a big splash, it afforded her job security. But extensive salary negotiations put her at odds with her male costar, Michael Landon, who didn't want Grassle to be paid more than the child actors on the show. Privately, Grassle battled alcoholism and mental health issues. Publicly, she tried to shine a light on the plight of battered women through a television movie and social activism. Grassle's memoir offers a peek behind the curtains of a beloved classic television show, and a clear-eyed look at the ups and downs of a creative life.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
