Jill and Derick knew a normal life wasn’t possible for them. As a star on the popular TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Jill grew up in front of viewers who were fascinated by her family’s way of life. She was the responsible, second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle’s nineteen kids; always with a baby on her hip and happy to wear the modest ankle-length dresses with throat-high necklines.

Loving, Fair and Truthful Perspective
Reviewed: 09-15-23
The truth from her perspective...respectful and balanced. I love the embrace of the good and lovely memories and the kindness in sharing the bitter ones. This was a very good book.

The gripping account of how the Royal family really operates, from the journalist who has spent years studying them. Who really runs the show and, as Charles III begins his reign, what will happen next?

Very interesting. The reading was superb. I feel like this book did a neat weaving together of many stories you hear about the British Royal Family. It especially links together most titles published recently including "Spare". I will definitely keep it and have another listen in the future.

For seventy years, Queen Elizabeth ruled over an institution and a family.

Recent years have brought grief and turmoil to the House of Windsor. In The New Royals, journalist Katie Nicholl provides a nuanced look at Elizabeth’s remarkable and unrivalled reign, with new stories from Palace courtiers and aides, documentarians, and family members.

Fair and unbiased book
Reviewed: 10-12-22
Very fair, in my opinion. This book is an unbiased telling of the past (Katie laid a nice foundation) as well as more current events. It is a very bittersweet description of the late Queen and the way she balanced her job and family. This was a very enjoyable, non-toxic account and predition of what would very soon after be set in motion. The audio book reader was perfect! Best wishes to the author, the people of the UK, King Charles III and all of his family and extended family who are still learning life without such a constant, graceful figure- The Queen Elizabeth II...

Love this

I originally bought the digital copy of this book to read with my teen daughter. I had the opportunity to get this audio version and loved it. I love hearing Priscilla speak so having her read this book was such a bonus. I have decided to facilitate a small group with girls in our youth group, featuring this book. It is so relevant, hitting many of the areas girls this age (my girl is 14) are beginning to work through. Nicely done. Meaty, yet easy to digest.
