Little House On The Prairie: Then & Now

Lessons From The Prairie

Although Melissa Francis survived growing up in an abusive household, she learned that the outside world could be cruel, too. In a second book of memoirs called Lessons From The Prairie, she recounts her days as a new journalist climbing the corporate ladder to her eventual position with Fox News. In one harrowing encounter, Francis’ boss showed up at her home in the middle of the night, drunk, and graphically described the acts he wanted to perform on her. She only got him to leave by pretending to be violently ill. Francis started looking for a new job the very next morning, but still regrets not reporting the incident.
