Non-Fiction Memoir
While actor Willie Aames (Eight Is Enough, Charles in
Charge) was at the peak of Hollywood success, his future
wife, Maylo Upton, was a teenage runaway, eating out of
trash bins and living on the streets to escape the sexual
crimes of her cult-ruined mother’s barbaric boyfriend.
By the time Willie met Maylo, his star was falling because
of sex, drugs, rock and roll, and family problems while her
acting career was starting to rise. Together, they found God
and got their messy lives clean, but the ghosts from their
gritty past would duly roughen the road to victory.
Grace Is Enough is their fascinating insider story of
fame and infamy, spiritual regrets and renewal, and the
ultimate realization that with God all things are possible.
It will appeal to and greatly inspire everyone from pop
culture fans to the traditional Christian nonfiction
reader.
Endorsements
"If you
think this is just another Hollywood tell-all book, think
again. This story is so much more; it will shock you, but
most importantly, it will give you hope and remind us all
that God is alive and still in the miracle business."
—Rick Burgess and Bill "Bubba" Bussey, radio hosts,
The Rick & Bubba Show
“Willie and
Maylo's honesty make this book a heartfelt read. It is
inspiring to see a couple so devoted to each other and to
their faith.” —Lori Loughlin, television
actress, Full House "A
fascinating true story that could only emerge from
Hollywood. Grace Is Enough is honest, riveting, and
unfolds in a compelling way that only a real-life drama
can." —Tom Russo, president, Intermedia
Television and former vice president of development,
Paramount Pictures "Grace Is
Enough offers an unflinching portrayal of both the
grimmest of human nature and the most extraordinary of the
human spirit. Willie and Maylo's story is an emotionally
brutal one made utterly compelling by uncovering hope and
dignity within the midst of fame, greed, lust, excess, and
ultimate betrayal. The candid account of these two lives is
both touching and disturbing, but in the end, one of the
most remarkable and inspiring stories I have ever
read." —Chris Maul, Grammnet
Productions
“Willie and Maylo have been the main
characters in their own exciting, action-filled,
suspenseful, dramatic and sometimes tragic life story. Their
devotion to God and to one another inspires us to reach past
the pain and the obstacles in our own lives in order to come
to the place where we can agree with them . . . grace is
enough.” —Kathy Troccoli, singer, speaker, and
author
