a fun book
Are you ready to see your fixer upper?

These famous words are now synonymous with the dynamic husband-and-wife team Chip and Joanna Gaines, stars of HGTV’s Fixer Upper. As this question fills the airwaves with anticipation, their legions of fans continue to multiply and ask a different series of questions, like—Who are these people?What’s the secret to their success? And is Chip actually that funny in real life? By renovating homes in Waco, Texas, and changing lives in such a winsome and engaging way, Chip and Joanna have become more than just the stars of Fixer Upper, they have become America’s new best friends.

The Magnolia Story is the first book from Chip and Joanna, offering their fans a detailed look at their life together. From the very first renovation project they ever tackled together, to the project that nearly cost them everything; from the childhood memories that shaped them, to the twists and turns that led them to the life they share on the farm today.

if you like this show and this couple you will like this book. Easy read, nothing new and exciting but interesting to chronicle how they got where they are today.
but not a book for a book club I wouldn't think

Great to read the history of how Chip and Joanna came to have their wonderful business.

I rnjourf thid nook because it showed how a couple xcan be successful while still living up to their Christian values.

Quick, easy read. I enjoyed the spiritual aspect of their relationship and life together.

Experienced this book as an audiobook. The book is read by the authors and I felt it made their story so much more personalized and special. They talked about their journey, what brought them together and what keeps them together. They have a high commitment to each other and their children. They (Chip) don't hesitate to lend a hand to someone in need. They state that it hasn't been easy, that they have gone thru some pretty tough and uncertain times, but they have come thru it with perseverance and commitment. One comment Joanna made really stuck with me. She said to find happiness in the ugliness and the mess, and she remarked that she has allowed Chip to stretch her and make her a better person today. Very uplifting read.
