About the Book:
One of America’s funniest women opens up in this
real and raw memoir, encouraging readers to face life’s trials with
unshakeable faith and joy.
A stand-up comedian beloved for her
combination of feisty wit and Southern charm, Pierce knows all too well
that life is funny—until it’s not. But she also knows that it will
become funny again. She’s held on to that hope—and that promise—through
tragedy and triumph.
And now she’s finally ready to tell her full story.
In
Life Is Funny until It’s Not , Pierce recounts a preacher’s daughter’s
childhood filled with heartbreak, including abuse, her parents’ divorce,
and the sudden deaths of her two sisters in the span of two years. Even
after she achieved success in her comedy tours, trials and tragedy
dogged her through marriage, motherhood, and widowhood. But God was
there with her through every sorrow and every joy.
This story of unshakeable hope and faith will inspire readers to turn to God and trust his faithfulness.
Chonda
Pierce has a white-knuckle faith—the kind you almost dare to have taken
from you. And she wants her readers to share her unapologetic courage
to hope—as well as a few laughs along the way.
My Review:
Oh my Gosh, y'all!!!!! Loved reading about Chonda. Amazing lady that has had some hard obstacles thrown in her path and with grace she has overcome each and every one of them. By reading her words you will see it was definitely a hard road. But with God's help--she did it! I loved reading about the "good old days". What I also loved about the book was it was like Chonda was literally there telling me the story. I could just imagine her telling me everything instead of me reading it in a book.
I know she has had some definite downturns in life and I dont want to spoil everything by mentioning them here. but she has tried her best to move on from the ashes and rebuild. And because she has, we get to benefit from that. Great book, Ms Chonda! I'm still your biggest fan!
