Book Description:
America grew up learning The Facts of Life on this popular television sit-com of the 1980s. As Blair Warner -- rich, pampered boarding school student, Lisa Whelchel matured from a snobby prep schooler to a responsible adult. Now the actress recounts the real facts of life she's learned as a child of God making the journey -- from a shy girl out of a small town in Texas, to the glamorous life of fame and fortune in Hollywood, to suburban life as a pastor's wife and homeschooling mother of three. Readers will relish this inside glimpse into the life of a child star who looks to her Heavenly Father. Touching autobiographical stories reveal the developing trust in God that has enabled Lisa to grow in grace through seasons of pressure, pain, and prosperity.
