I liked this book, in a lot of ways because I can relate to Lisa and how she kept a large part of herself hidden away from her *friends*. I always looked at is as you have school friends, you have neighborhood friends, you have friends for different activities. But none of those friends really knew the whole you, each group only saw a glimpse of the real you. This book gives you some great ideas on how to help create and strengthen friendships. It is a good read and one I would really recommend.

Friendship for Grown-UpsWhat I Missed and Learned Along the Way
By Lisa Whelchel
Book Description
Former Facts of Life star Lisa Whelchel shares her experiences of growing up without true friends and how she learned to find and develop them as an adult through God’s grace.
Not many people can say they lived their most crucial developmental years on the sound stage of a wildly popular TV show. But that’s exactly what happened in Lisa Whelchel’s life. As a child, she learned to guard her heart so tightly to avoid true hurt that she found herself unable to form lasting friendships as an adult.
Friendship for Grown-Ups details her experiences of learning to come out of her shell, to trust, risk, and become vulnerable by God’s grace and find meaningful friendships. Readers encounter her captivating story and refreshing perspective on life’s most precious gift—and they find practical tips for their own friendships along the way.
I would like to thank Thomas Nelson for the opportunity to review this book.
