Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated by Alison Arngrim

5.0

As a lifelong fan of Little House on the Prairie--the television show, not the books--this memoir has long been on my to-read list. I'm really glad I finally got around to it.

I came for the behind the scenes tell-all and was not disappointed. But what I received that was much more important was a look into how Alison Arngrim used her fame to do something greater than herself. Nellie Oleson was an opportunity for her to escape from the abuse and neglect she experienced at home, but also ended up being an avenue for her to raise her voice for the voiceless and not give a shit about what anyone thought about her.
