About this ebook
Confessions of a Prairie Bitch is Alison Arngrim’s comic memoir of growing up as one of television’s most memorable characters—the devious Nellie Oleson on the hit television show Little House on the Prairie. With behind-the-scenes stories from the set, as well as tales from her bohemian upbringing in West Hollywood and her headline-making advocacy work on behalf of HIV awareness and abused children, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch is a must for fans of everything Little House: the classic television series and its many stars like Michael Landon and Melissa Gilbert; Gilbert’s bestselling memoir Prairie Tale... and, of course, the beloved series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder that started it all.

I absolutely loved this book. It was funny and straight to the point if you ever wanted to know what happened behind the scenes in little house on the prarie, as well as the person behind the horrible character Nellie oelson then you've come to the right place. I could not put this book down. Allison Arngrim you've just gained a new fan.

One of the best books I have read in a long time. I laughed, cried, cheered. It confirms that you don't have to be anyone but yourself to make a difference in your own life and those around you. No excuses... you cant grab onto something better if you never choose to let go of the bad. Well done!

Great bio for a rainy afternoon. Written in a relaxed conversational style like you would hear over lattes on the front porch. She tells her story without unnecessary sensationalism. Just a well written book....I went through it in an afternoon. Did love the insider bits from the sets of Little House though!
