Book Description:
As Blair Warner on The Facts of Life, Lisa Whelchel matured from a snobby prep schooler to a responsible adult. Now the actress recounts the journey she's made in real life, from a shy, small-town girl in Texas to the glamorous life of fame and fortune in Hollywood -- and finally to suburban life as a pastor's wife and homeschooling mother of three. Poignant autobiographical stories reveal the developing trust in God that has enabled Lisa to grow in grace through seasons of pressure, pain, and prosperity.

I had been afraid that this would be a gossipy tale about the show, but instead, it was a delightful collection of stories from Lisa's life, documenting her journey of faith. There were some real gems here that spoke to my heart. I kept finding myself reading portions of it to my husband, because there was much we could relate to. Any Christian that delights in stories of God's work within the lives of others will be able to appreciate this book.

This book is absolutely wonderful. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I am, but it is not only entertaining, but moving. I appreciate Lisa's honesty and her warmth. Her testimony as a Christian mom and woman is great. Definitely recommend.
Lisa writes in a very informal, hilarious style and this book was a quick read. Although it was fast, there were some very encouraging & inspiring ideas! I have made a lot of notes about some things I'd like to try for myself. (Also, if you grew up watching Blair like I did, you will find it a neat bit of "celebrity" background!)
Remember Blair from the Facts of Life tv show in the 80's? This is a memoir about her Christian life over the years and now.
Interesting autobiographical book by Lisa Whelchel, actress on The Facts of Life.
