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.'
