"I LOVED this book. I certainly didn't expect to! I only wanted to read it because I was hoping for some Full House stories. (I love me some Full House.) I certainly didn't expect to care about Kirk and Candace Cameron's mother, Barbara.
Yesterday I picked this up and thought I would read a chapter or two really quick. Well, I read the entire book in that one sitting. I was instantly brought into the story, and realized that Barbara Cameron has led a fascinating life on her own. I LOVED the stories of how Kirk and Cameron got started, and alternately, it was tough to read about her failing marriage.
I knew Kirk Cameron had become a born-again Christian on the set of Growing Pains, causing much resentment for the cast. But I never knew how it came to be. It's all in here (towards the end of the book) - the exact moment they all started attending church and inviting God into their lives. Barbara was able to save her marriage, and she started a summer camp for kids who are dying, so they might spend their last few years in joy. She started her own talent agency, and began making missionary trips to Africa. In short, she found the happiness she had been searching for her whole life.
"I bought this book because I wanted to know more about Kirk Cameron but it really is more about the mom. It is an interesting read because you get to look at Hollywood. It has a definite religious undertone which was fine with me. While she does tell her negative feelings, she still comes off a little holier than thou. I did enjoy reading about Full House & Growing Pains."
"I had seen Candace,her daughter speak in my hometown. She was very moving and informational. After she got done speaking, she encouraged people to buy her mother's book among other things. I was intriged to learn more about the Cameron family, so I bought the book and had it autographed. I liked the book. It is a fun, easy read. I recommend it to anyone who ever liked Kirk Cameron (Mike on Growing Pains), Candace Cameron (DJ on Full House), or has a child in show business."
