Join award-winning actress, writer and director, Mary McDonough at Barnes & Noble (UPWS), as she signs copies of Lessons From the Mountain: What I Learned From Erin Walton (Kensington Publishers). Ms. McDonough's recent appearances at DOLLYWOOD (with Dolly Parton), the Country Tonite Theatre (With Loretta Lynn), The Opry Shop (At the Grand Ole Opry), as well as The Kennedy Center in DC broke records in sales and attendance.

When asked about being the first of the Walton's cast to release a memoir (Lessons From the Mountain: What I Learned From Erin Walton), Mary declares, 'The decision to write didn't come easily for several reasons. When people ask me why we haven't written a book about The Waltons, I joke that if anyone did and told the whole truth, the rest of us would get together and kill them. So, if I disappear soon after this book is published, consider The Waltons family members key suspects.'
