Wow, we would have even more features if the whole world listened to Melissa.
The Melissa Francis hit parade continues on Whom You Know-she continues to inspire the world with her new book...and for someone we don't know and have never met, she certainly has impressed us from afar. Though also well done, we feel Lessons from the Prairie was a bit on the typical sophomore side for a second book, but maybe that is also because we have never seen Little House on the Prairie. We were not allowed to stay up that late when it aired- the part when we were alive!
Melissa's persistence, belief that the good guys do win in the end, faith in miracles and passion without fear spell success in the evolution of her latest and greatest effort with a pen. Or perhaps, a keyboard. We like what she says about faith, and we like what she says about confronting problems. Both her sense of humor and honestly are highly laudable and she's someone that is hugely relatable. Her words on being let go/fired/use your preferred term on page 49 are wise and fantastic. And, it is nice to know that Melissa is human despite the Ivy-ness; for everyone that reads us and eats, she suggests forks for chocolate chip ice cream. We believe she would enjoy the stressed mommy wine we reviewed so she can further take a load off.
We love how she's a team player via Michael Landon's Christmas efforts. We love her definition of rich on page 129. We love her secret of economy of effort and her summarization of healthcare on page 167. Note not all reviews contain the phrase "we love" - and it is rare to see it multiple times as well. And, we agree: do not send emails at 2am. But it IS OK to tweet then.
We quite concur: she is like filet mignon with the Harvard degree, but we still prefer Boston College.
Bravo Melissa! You are so good, we can't ignore you.
We look forward to your third book. We will review it.

Lessons from the Prairie
The Surprising Secrets to Happiness, Success and (Sometimes Just) Survival
I Learned on America’s Favorite Show
Melissa Francis was eight years old when she won the role of a lifetime: playing Cassandra Cooper Ingalls on the world’s most famous prime-time soap opera, Little House on the Prairie.
Now, in Lessons from the Prairie: The Surprising Secrets to Happiness, Success and (Sometimes Just) Survival I Learned on America’s Favorite Show, Melissa shares behind-the-scenes stories from the set, along with inspirational and practical life lessons learned from Prairie’s dynamic creator, Michael Landon, that have echoed throughout Melissa’s adult life. Lessons from the Prairie will be available at booksellers on April 25, 2017.
A hilariously candid and brilliantly effective self-help book, Melissa shares her five-step recipe for turning disaster into golden opportunity, the critical upside of staying positive (nice guys/gals finish first!), how she wrangles the demands of motherhood with a full-time career (figure out what you really want), the role of faith (miracles do happen!), and how she’s learned not to care what anyone else thinks (show them your cellulite!) — all while peeling back the curtains on the legendary Little House series.
