Melissa Sue Anderson went through many trails and tribulations with her years on Little House on the Prairie including her character going blind. Her autobiography entitled The Way I See It, really is a look back at her life on Little House.

Jerry Nunn: Hello, Melissa. I really enjoyed reading your book. What made you decide to write it at this time?

Melissa Sue Anderson: I never thought about doing it. I was approached to write it. I thought they made a mistake and were talking about my husband because he is the professional writer in the family. I thought how interesting and I was surprised that no one has done it before, then I learned that Melissa Gilbert was coming out with a book. I was trying to do it in a different way. I didn’t want to be like every other memoir. I don’t have a life that has been through a lot of misery and pain.
