Synopsis

Ryan and Jess blended their families after losing their spouses to cancer in 2010. This has led to an unexpected and often hilarious journey. Blended with Grit and Grace invites you to walk alongside them and learn what it's like to have eight kids under one roof.

With wit and wisdom, Jess offers fresh perspectives on managing different parenting styles, developing family traditions, and meeting the special needs of your family. Jess, with frequent asides from Ryan, also probes deeper marital and family concerns that are often experienced but not talked about like grief, breakdowns in communication, finances, and insecurities. Filled with gentle advice, Blended with Grit and Grace transports listeners into the Ronnes' kitchen so you can ponder the detours that have come up in your own life.

Goodreads review by Hayley

I really enjoyed this book; and it is almost doesn't make sense for me to say that when I first heard about Jessica and Ryan's story. I came late to knowing their lives after her first book and just recently started following them a bit more on social media. So when I began reading I wasn't quite su......more
