Title: Once Upon a Farm: Lessons on Growing Love, Life and Hope on a new Frontier

Author: Rory Feek

Pgs: 248

Genre: nonfiction Memoir

Rating: 3 Stars

     Once Upon a Farm is Rory Feek’s newest book that I did enjoy reading though I didn’t love it as much as his first book. This Life I live.  Once Upon a Farm read like a series of blog posts rather than one complete memoir, so you are able to read it at your own pace, put it down and come back to it.  I did enjoy reading more about Rory’s life and reading updates on Indy.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

                Still Lolo is a memoir of Lauren Scruggs and her family and the tragedy that changed their lives. But through all of it they didn’t lose their faith. Though Lauren lost her left eye and hand in an accident with an airplane poralle she didn’t let that stop here. She’s uses what she went through to reach young girls. To show them that worth is not in what they look like, but who they are on the inside.

     The book has an introduction by Bethany Hamilton the young surfer who lost her arm to a shark bite. Both young women stood strong in their faith in God. He was there strength when they had none. 

     I enjoyed Lauren’s story and learned a lot. Still Lolo is a heartwarming story of courage, strength, and overcoming life’s struggles.
