of the way that the book is kind of laid out and if you're in our book club you've read it you understand that like We jump back and forth in the timeline, so anything that's present day or actively happening is in 1855 or in this crazy, extreme, primitive world.
MaddieHOST
I guess it's not technically primitive, but it's Little House on the Prairie and the really dark sides of that.
MaddieHOST
And then it jumps back and forth to how she was in her college years, what her upbringing was like, how she got from- How her and her husband met.
MaddieHOST
Yeah, how she got from...
Kendyll KeeneGUEST
I loved Annie Green Gables.
Kendyll KeeneGUEST
I loved Little House on the Prairie, all the classics.
Kendyll KeeneGUEST
As a historian, my favorites as a kid were Witch of Blackbird Pond, Johnny Tremaine, and all the American Girl Doll series books.
Kendyll KeeneGUEST
Oh,
Mindy Nichols WendellGUEST
When I was a kid and I read a lot of soothing books, you know, because I think, you know, all kids have things about growing up that are hard.
Mindy Nichols WendellGUEST
So I like the Little House on the Prairie books and Beverly Cleary and Carolyn Haywood and like series of books where I would revisit the same characters and enter that world, you know, and my mom read a lot to us.
Mindy Nichols WendellGUEST
So even now, like when I hear, you know, the Winnie the Pooh books or rabbit Hill or Charlotte's web or Beverly clear.
Mindy Nichols WendellGUEST
I can hear it in my mom's voice, reading it out loud to us.
Chelsea DevantezHOST
Sometimes I'm in step two, you know me.

And today we are book clubbing Confessions of a Prairie Bitch, How I Survived Nellie Olson and Learned to Love Being Hated, a comic Little House on the Prairie memoir by Alison Arngrim.
Chelsea DevantezHOST
So you will know Alison from when she starred as the iconic mean girl, Nellie Olsen on Little House on the Prairie, which she was on from 1974 to 1982.
Chelsea DevantezHOST
Little House on the Prairie is so popular.
Chelsea DevantezHOST
It was like one of the hugest hits in American television ever.
Chelsea DevantezHOST
It was an American Western historical drama television series, loosely based on the Little House on the Prairie book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Chelsea DevantezHOST
And the series followed the Ingalls family who lived on a farm in Plum Creek near Walnut Grove in Minnesota.
Chelsea DevantezHOST
And it's really like... pioneers and you know running through meadows it's like it's like the good old times such a huge show that show is now remounted on netflix and this actress who is also a comedian stage actress and philanthropist wrote this book about starring as a little girl on this show and all her crazy hollywood tales Now today, here to recap the book to me is our very special book recapper, book queen.
Jennifer PepitoHOST
And so in the peaceful press, we really focus, especially in the early years, on telling the happy side of stories, like giving children heroes, reading stories like Shackleton's Endurance about the Shackleton expedition in Antarctica and reading books like Bruchko about the missionary in South America, reading books.
Jennifer PepitoHOST
about you know heroic people like even the little house on the prairie series where you have a family who go through these intense hardships but they're so positive about it and so uplifting these kinds of stories shape our children to be so much more hopeful and imaginative and gritty and even creative whereas when we fill our kids minds with these hopeless narratives and you know, just the most depressing, sordid poetry.
Jennifer PepitoHOST
And then the only other thing we give them is facts, like a little blurb about the Constitution or a little blurb about something.
Jennifer PepitoHOST
It doesn't shape their worldview or their imagination at all.
Whitney CiceroGUEST
I don't know who that is.
Whitney CiceroGUEST
From Little House on the Prairie, there was Laura Ingalls and Nellie Olsen, and Nellie was the bitch.
Whitney CiceroGUEST
And they would make me go around and be like, there's no gumballs for you, Laura Ingalls.
Andrea AbbateHOST
Okay, wow.
Andrea AbbateHOST
That's a
Whitney CiceroGUEST
deep cut.
Whitney CiceroGUEST
That's a deep Little House on the Prairie cut.

Miriam KrehbielHOST

Barry FeekerHOST
Foundational principles, Little House on the Prairie.
Miriam KrehbielHOST
Oh, that's a good one.
Barry FeekerHOST
Lower Ingalls Wilder series.
Miss CrystalHOST
And.
Miss CrystalHOST
It featured the man from Little House on the Prairie, and I have a little House on the Prairie doll, but I think he was an angel on earth.
Miss CrystalHOST
He had to do that, kind of go around and fix people's problems.
Miss CrystalHOST
And to me, that's more of a calling than a pastor, because you have some time off, don't you? I get a lot of time off.
Bryan BetzHOST
Laura Ingalls.
Bryan BetzHOST
Years before Laura Ingalls Wilder became a famous author, writing the Little House on the Prairie series, she was a child living with her family near Walnut Grove, Minnesota.
Bryan BetzHOST
The grasshopper plague became part of her family's real experience.
Bryan BetzHOST
and later inspired scenes in her novel, On the Banks of Plum Creek.
Nick BatzigHOST
Thank you for that.
Nick BatzigHOST
And you do make the point several times in blog posts and in your book, The Next Story, where you give that illustration of Laura Ingalls Wilder and Little House on the Prairie, and this is the frontier and this is what it's like.
Nick BatzigHOST
And I mean, it was the technological frontier in those early 2000s.
Nick BatzigHOST
And even beyond that, you know, the first... decade and a half probably of the 2000s to 2015.
