review 1: This is not the most well-written book. If it weren't for her chapter headings, you would have no clue what the main idea of each chapter was supposed to be. She skips around in her thoughts. It is almost like she grabs your attention with one great story, and then before tying it all up, she starts another story and then all of a sudden, the chapter is over. However, there were some opinions and ideas I could relate to. I think there will be many parenting topics we can discuss at book club. I am really looking forward to that. Even though I have heard about the Osmond family and remember watching Donnie and Marie's talk show, I don't know much about Marie. I enjoyed learning more about her. It sounds like she had a very grounded up-bringing, despite being a child ... morestar.
review 2: I did not have high expectations for this book, as I was a tad suspicious that the author was just using her fame to market yet another product. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Osmond is candid, and even fearless at times, as she discusses both the heartaches and heartwarming experiences she has had with her family. She is respectful and grateful in her references to her own mother, and her genuine appreciation for her famous family is endearing. In spite of my skepticism, I was touched my her simple honesty and rare wisdom. I would comment that she is just an ordinary women with an extraordinary talent, but that wouldn't do her justice. Perhaps it is more accurate to say she is an extraordinary woman of faith and strength, who has the courage to share a portion of her life with the world. And the world is just a little bit better because of it. less
