Summary
“Chapters 13 & 14: Pages 205-234”
Meri and Janelle open up about the Brown family's jump into the limelight as they kick off the "Celebrity" section of the book. Lights, camera - but never without a stitch of makeup, Meri reflects on the chaos of starring in a reality TV program, the joys of meeting Matthew McConaughey, and living her dream of building a more accepting and tolerant world for Leon to enjoy. Janelle echoes (most of) Meri's sentiments from a strikingly similar writing outline, and reveals her secrets to marital bliss while Tom Green catches a few strays.
