A Learning Experience

I have known farmer and ms meadows sense i was 9 years old. I am now 18, and reading this book has given me a look into their lives that was a real learing experience. It gives a glimpse and gives me a appreciation for them and the lives they have lived. It is an awsome account of their lives, and I highly reccomend it to anyone who not only know farmer and betty, but anyone who likes a romance story. I can honestly say i truly appreciate them in a new way now after reading Nearly Perfect

A must read!

Wonderful, inspiring, challenging! The writer captured my interest and I felt like for a short period I became a part of the Meadows Family. The love between the Farmer and Betty captured my heart. I was impressed with their wisdom as young married people in how they conducted business and treated one another with such sensitivity. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the Meadows insofar as their employees were concerned. Truly, God has blessed their lives.

this is a great book about great people

i have read this book two times, it has its funny times and it has its emotional times you smile and cry at the same time. this book has alot of good life lessions, such as patience,investments,and living life to its fullest. not only is it a good book, but farmer and betty are all around good people.

It's all about attitude!

Farmer and Betty Meadows are actually "homegrown" entrepreneurs, having gotten their start here in the DC metro area, so it made for great reading, being familiar with some of their references.But it was a lot more than rags to riches - very romantic, funny, and sad - more about relationships than money. Made for quick easy reading!
