About this audiobook
Covering topics such as "It's Jesus or Jail," "Marriage, the Hard Way," "Children: The Gift You Can't Give Back," and "All the Things I Don't Know...And All the Things I Definitely Do," stand-up comedienne, actress, and ABC's The View co-host Sherri Shepherd comically chronicles her struggles to keep up with the many roles-professional, wife, mother, daughter, and friend-that women must play in today's world. Sherri urges women to pursue their most important dreams and to never give up, but also lets listeners know that it's okay to give themselves "permission slips" when things don't always work out the way they want them to. As her many fans know, Sherri is never hesitant to speak from the heart, and her bubbly personality shines through in this delightful autobiography.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I absolutely loved this book. Sherri Shepherd talks about life and her experiences in such a delightful way. I was sad when I had finished. Her suggestions to give yourself permission to just be yourself, really resonated with me. I hope she writes more books...I'll be one of the first to download!!! :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Before reading this book, I knew who Sherri Shepherd was from The View advertisments, but had never watched anything she's been on. After reading this book, I can say that this is one funny lady!!! Life is to serious to be serious. You gotta laugh. And this book gives you many of those. I love when someone can laugh at themselves, and she does this often. There are many serious aspects of this book also, like giving yourself permission to take care of yourself, giving yourself permission to make mistakes and then dust yourself off and get on with life. Sherri doesn't hold back in this book. She tells of many things in her life that were not so pretty and I applaud her for that. Life gives you hurdles, and sometimes you make your own hurdles, but not taking everything so serious is the key to happiness. I hope to read more from this amazing woman.
