Excellent book! I usually don't care for personal memoirs unless it is about someone I have enjoyed in the past and Alison aka Nellie from Little House was a favorite of mine. Her book explains how shy she was before Nellie but after Nellie she used her new found fame and outgoing personality for AIDS activism, and even helped to get a child protection act bill signed in the California senate. If you don't like stories about abuse, or are sensitive to that, then I don't recommend this. She describes being abused by her brother for several years. There were some great LOL moments as well though which helped balance the book. Of the 2 Little House memoirs i've read this year (Melissa Gilbert's Prairie Tales and this one) I have to say I enjoyed Alison's much better than Melissa's.
