This week our special guest is the incomparable Melissa Gilbert.

Many of you remember Melissa as Laura Ingalls Wilder on Little House on the Prairie. She is also a director, producer, former president of the Screen Actors Guild, wife, mom and grandmother and now farmer.

Melissa has written a new book titled BACK TO THE PRAIRIE: A HOME REMADE, A LIFE REDISCOVERED. This memoir shares her midlife journey with her husband, actor Tim Busfield as they purchase a "fixer upper" in the Catskills, live through the pandemic and discover new passions along the way.

Melissa shares with us her professional journey as an actress and personal experiences as a woman 50+ as well as what she is looking forward to in this next chapter of life.
