Ratings and reviews

Loved this easy to read book. Although their story is familiar from watching their television show, the book provided further insight and explained the emotion behind what is outwardly seen. A very inspiring and positive read.

This show is so refreshing & clean! I love the entire family, including Rocky & Maggie!! They are a family that faces all kinds of issues yet they hang in there. I truly admire this family & all they do. I am so glad it has been renewed!! ❤️

That Bill is a hoot. I laughed out loud on several occasions. I also cried when Jen shared some of her losses. I LOVE the show and read the book in one weekend. Excellent job guys..
