It’s a story about second-chances, family values and faith.

Readers will be intrigued to learn more about Chip and Joanna Gaines, their childhood dreams, personal struggles, trials, and tribulations.

It’s a fascinating story about ambition, good intentions, mishaps, forgiveness, hard work and good clean fun.

Fans of HGTV’s Fixer Upper will enjoy reading this book, because the narrative is told in the first-person, and the story unfolds as if one were listening to Chip and Joanna having a personal conversation.  Whether they agree or inject an argument or another point-of-view, this couple will surprise and delight readers with their ingenuity, creativity and sincere desire to work things out.

Joanna says, “Have you ever looked at the bud of a magnolia flower?  It’s a tight little pod that stays closed up for a long time on the end of its branch until one day, out of nowhere, it finally bursts open into this gigantic, gorgeous fragrant flower that’s ten times bigger than the bud itself. . . .And that’s sort of what getting “discovered” and sharing our lives on Fixer Upper feels like to us.”

This book runs 184-pages and includes eight pages of color photos.  It’s available, with your library card, as a downloadable ebook with bonus material or as a downloadable audiobook.

A publication by W Publishing Group, an imprint of Thomas Nelson.

These two former stars of the hit television show Fixer Upper just hosted a four-hour sneak-preview on April 26 about their new venture, the Magnolia Network, which will launch October 4 on ABC.
