Lessons from the Mountain: What I Learned from Erin Walton
"Mary is a whole lot more than Erin on The Waltons. This book shows how she's handled all the highs and lows with grace." ----George Clooney"A fascinating look at what it's like to grow up in front of and beyond the cameras." ----Eve Plumb"Somewhere inside that frightened, shy, freckle-faced little girl, who just wanted to please everyone, to just be "good enough," seethed the heart of brave activist, willing to take on all comers in her fight to save women's lives. Mary starts out writing a heartfelt "love letter" to her Waltons co-stars and fans, (no whining here, there s not an ungrateful bone in her body!) But no sooner has she finished happily regaling us with her behind the scenes Waltons tales, and the moral lessons she took to heart along the way, she reveals the terrifying challenges that forced her to become more "Erin Brockovich" than "Erin Walton"! For someone who started out as a sweet little girl afraid to speak up, it certainly is a pleasure to hear her shout from the top of the mountain now! -- --Alison Arngrim, New York Times Best Selling Author of "Confessions of A Prairie Bitch""A fascinating look at what it's like to grow up in front of and beyond the cameras." ----Eve Plumb"Somewhere inside that frightened, shy, freckle-faced little girl, who just wanted to please everyone, to just be "good enough," seethed the heart of brave activist, willing to take on all comers in her fight to save women's lives.
