Description
Bright Lights, Prairie Dust is a candid memoir by Karen Grassle, the beloved actress who played Ma on Little House on the Prairie. In this inspiring journey, Grassle reveals her struggles to overcome depression, combat her own dependence on alcohol, and find true love, while pursuing a successful acting career.
From her early days on '60s campuses to her studies at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, and ultimately behind the curtains of Broadway stages and Hollywood sets, Grassle takes readers on a journey through the highs and lows of her life. With humor and hard-won wisdom, she shares stories of her time with celebrated artists and the lessons she learned along the way.
This memoir introduces readers to the complex, funny, rebellious, and soulful woman behind the iconic character of Caroline Ingalls, and celebrates the power of womanhood in all its complexity. Raw, emotional, and tender, Bright Lights is a powerful tribute to the human spirit.
