In just 198 pages, Bobby Estell,
better known as “Bobby Bones” of the nationally syndicated country radio show,
“The Bobby Bones Show”, tells us his real-life struggle of growing up on a
couch — he never had his own room until after college —in a Central Arkansas home
with an alcohol-addicted mother who died in her forties and a father that
decided not to stick around. His story is about the hard work and determination
it took just to get into college on a scholarship and eventually to his dream
career in radio. Bones’ sense of humor
takes you in and out of some tough times as a child on welfare and onto stories
about his relationship struggles and his inability to say “I love you” to
anyone other than his dog. Through his personal tragedy, he takes on the
mantra, “Every day’s a good day,” and uses the platform he’s been given to promote
joy every morning to 2 million listeners. This book is a great read for anyone
who is struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel in the areas of
life, work, school or issues at home. If you’re feeling stuck or just want to
be entertained, this book will surely show you the light.
