Welcome Home - Our Family's Journey to Extreme Joy (2009)
Product Description
Thanks to being featured on the hit TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the Woodhouse family of Colorado Springs is known across the country. Their poignant, heart-touching story of having a child with a rare medical disorder, which led to a mountain of hospital bills and the loss of their home?and their need for a home that would be safe for daughter Kayla?has put them in the public spotlight and kept them there. The theme that carries through Welcome Home is James 1:2-4. We're all a work in progress, and it can be "Pure Joy" to be a parent. But, how does joy evolve out of a potentially devastating reality? Kimberley's candid stories of both failures and successes, and the ultimate resource?the Bible, will point readers in the right direction for establishing JOY in their homes.

From the Back Cover
Overwhelming trials . . . met with overcoming joy.
Kayla Woodhouse is not your typical twelve-year-old. Due to a rare medical disorder, she feels no pain, doesn't sweat, and needs protective cooling gear just to go outside. With her restrictive lifestyle; countless hospitalizations, including brain surgery; and the resulting mountain of hospital bills, what's a family to do?

How the Woodhouse family has faced seemingly impossible challenges is a story that has captured the hearts of America. Millions of people have experienced glimpses of their lives on Discovery's Mystery ER, The Montel Williams Show, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (recently voted one of the show's all-time best episodes!).

Now Kayla's mom, Kimberley, takes readers behind the cameras to reveal their family's journey as never before told. From medical sleuthing to cross-country moves, from freak fires to battles with insurance companies, Welcome Home proves that truth really is stranger than fiction. This candid life story reveals both success and failure and demonstrates how, even during tough circumstances, to shift your life from heartbreak to extreme joy.

Peak inside the Woodhouse family's life (and their famous house) with a 16-page photo insert.
