About this item

Description

In her first solo memoir, New York Times bestselling author Joanna Gaines invites us on an authentic and deeply vulnerable journey into her story--and helps shine a light on the beauty of our own--guiding us to release the weights that hold us back so we may live and share our story in truth.



We've all dropped anchor in places that suited us for a time: a city, a perspective, a lie we mistook as truth. This book is an invitation to a kind of life where you know how to hold what you believe--about yourself and the quiet worlds behind the people you pass--with gracious and open hands. To see your story as greater than any past or future thing, but for all the beauty and joy and hope it holds today. It's an invitation to take stock of the chapters you've lived--the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly--glean what's gold, and carry only that forward. Let it slow your feet and steady your life-in-motion so you can see where you stand today from a new point of view. No longer through weary or uncertain eyes, but a lens brimming with hope.



"The only way to break free was to rewrite my story. Because something would happen every time my pen stopped: it was like my soul was coming back to my body. Like the deepest parts of me that got knocked around and drowned out by all the crap I let the world convince me about who I was came back to the surface. And what was left was only what was real and true. I was, finally, standing in the fullness of my story. I felt hopeful. I felt full. Our story may crack us open, but it also pieces us back together.

We all have a story to tell. This happens to be mine--every chapter a window into who I am, the journey I'm on, and the season I'm in right now. Because this is my story, maybe you won't always relate, or maybe it will feel like you're looking in a mirror. Whatever we have in common and whatever differences lie between us, I only hope my story can help shine a light on the beauty of yours. That my own soul work will stir something of your own. And that by the time you get to the end of my story, you're also holding the beautiful beginnings of your own.



A story only you can tell. And I hope that you will."

Joanna has a wonderful story to tell about her past and the lessons she's learned while growing up. As a biracial Asian woman myself living in the US, it certainly describes a unique expereince that many of us share but don't talk about.

Loved this book and everyone needs to read it! For me it was relatable for a lot of Joanna’s mom moments and I believe a lot of moms could read this book and be motivated to keep pushing to be your best self! I listened to this on audio and am currently going back through my actual book copy again!

I have enjoyed fixer upper and many of Joannas endeavors but this book is difficult to get through. Each chapter has a theme and it seems that a lot is repeated.

This book was very redundant. The author seemed like she may have been rushed to get a new book published. It was definitely reflected in her writing. I couldn't make it past the first chapter, because it was so nonsensical.
