Summary
When Melissa Francis was nine years old, she won the role of Cassandra Cooper Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie. She and her older sister Tiffany were already veteran actresses, having starred in countless commercials and made-for-television movies. As Melissa's star rose, however, her sister's dimmed, and she became invisible to her mother, who was increasingly riveted to Melissa's success. It's a startling account of life in a dysfunctional family.
