I am reviewing a copy of Back to the Prairie through Gallery Books and Netgalley:




If you’re a fan of Little Houde on the Prairie, I highly recommend Back to the Prairie!



Melissa Gilbert is known for her childhood role as Laura Ingalls Wilder on the classic NBC show Little House on the Prairie,  Melissa has spent most of her life in Hollywood with everything 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.






After her husband introduces her to the wilds of rural Michigan, Melissa begins to fall back in love with nature. And when work takes them to New York, they find a rustic cottage in the Catskill Mountains to call home. But “rustic” is a generous description for the state of the house, requiring a lot of blood, sweat, and tears for the newlyweds to make habitable.




As the Worldwide Pandemic descends on the world, it further 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.




I give Back to the Prairie five out of five stars!




Happy Reading!
