Bright Lights, Prairie Dust: An Interview with Karen Grassle

We are so thrilled to share this candid conversation with one of our icons, Ma Ingalls, and the absolutely lovely woman who brought her to life, Karen Grassle. Join us as we discuss Karen’s honest, raw and emotional memoir, “Bright Lights, Prairie Dust,” and learn about some of the struggles she faced in her own life as well as on the prairie. Karen was — and still is — a warrior for women, and we are beyond honored to have spoken with her. (But can someone please pick our 1977 selves up off the floor?)

And don’t worry, we asked the hard-hitting questions we know you all want to hear: What is her favorite Little House episode? Who was her favorite guest star? Why were there so many dang ladybugs on the prairie? And what did she really think of our prairie dresses?!?

“Bright Lights, Prairie Dust” is available now wherever you buy books, and on Audible, read by Karen herself.
