Books : Grace is EnoughIn association with Amazon.comRating:  - A Great ReadI highly recommend this book. I could not put it down! I read it twice before passing it along to a friend. I purchased this book after having a stroke. It motivated me in knowing that if Willie and Maylo could get through all that they have, I can too! Rating:  - Not as good as expectedThis book is okay as far a biographies go . . . I definitely felt compassion for the rough, sordid life that both Willie Aames and Maylo Upton-Aames endured and admire them for rising above it. However, I wouldn't call the book uplifting. Too many details were given about the bad things that happened to them (e.g. instead of just saying Maylo was raped repeatedly by her mother's boyfriend, lengthy specifics were given.) Willie Aames also says at the beginning that some people will doubt that parts of the book are true. I do admit--I question a three to four year old constructing a noose and trying to hang himself. Rating:  - Grace is more than enoughGenerally, I'm not big on biographies / autobiographies. Amazon recommended this as a result of an earlier purchase, Eric Clapton's EC. I watched the Eight is Enough show plenty of times and really enjoyed it. However I suspected some of its stars had issues that evaded that public's eye. This book is full of surprises/hurts. Some of those hurts are quite painful and I'm sure quite familiar to some of us "regular" folks. Paints another portrait of pain/shame in the celebrity world of fame. Willie's family history and business associates (actors/actresses) are quite notable. Worth reading even if you're not a fan of Eight is Enough. Quite uplifting. Rating: - Grace is enoughI loved reading this book. It is a light read and very spiritually uplifting! Rating: - GREAT BOOK!I LOVE TO READ ABOUT GODS TRANSFORMING POWER IN PEOPLE'S LIVES. THIS BOOK IS EXACTLY THAT. GOD IS SO GOOD. YOU'LL ENJOY THIS READ. |
