"From the beloved stars of TLC's The Little Couple comes an uplifting and moving behind-the-scenes account of how the pair met, fell in love, and overcame huge obstacles to become successful professionals and parents. Jennifer Arnold and Bill Klein have inspired millions as stars of TLC's hit show The Little Couple. Though they both have dwarfism, they have knocked down every obstacle they have encountered together with a positive, can-do attitude. The show has featured the lives of Jennifer (a respected neonatologist) and Bill (a successful entrepreneur) from their marriage in 2009, to the launch of their pet shop, to the adoption of their children, to Jen's overcoming cancer. Now, for the first time Jen and Bill are letting readers into their private lives with behind-the-scenes, never-before-told stories about how they fell in love, what inspires them, and the passions that drive their success. Jen and Bill have a simple purpose in life: make the world a better place through encouragement and education. A must-have for fans of the show or anyone who has ever faced a difficult challenge, Life Is Short (Pun Intended) gives readers a glance at what inspires these positive people to approach life with such optimism and share their lives with the public every day"--… (meer)

I enjoyed reading about this family. Amazing how their teen years reflected the trials and tribulations of typical teens, with the challenge of their physical differences thrown in. Very touching. Wow, some of the situations they had to face are truly heartbreaking. I am glad they persevered, and now have a wonderful marriage and family. This is an emotional and uplifting story. ( )

I really enjoyed learning more details of Bill and Jen's lives, particularly their childhoods and experiences adopting their children that we didn't get to see on tv. I would have enjoyed more photos, even if they were black and white and interspersed throughout the text. ( )

The Little Couple on TLC is a show that both my daughter and I love to watch together. When we saw this book at the local bookstore, we were very excited to buy it.

I think that if you are a fan of the series, you will really enjoy this book. The book focuses mainly on them growing up, attending school and the various medical issues. By the time we get to their wedding, the book is almost over. So this is good for finding out about their lives before the series.

I thought the book was very interesting, and I enjoyed reading it. The writing style is like an informal talk by Bill and Jen. If you are not a fan of the show, you may not like this book as much, but it would still be worth at least 3 stars. I give it 4 stars because I am invested in the characters. ( )

I started watching the "Little People" show on TV (one of the few reality shows I do like) and just love this family.. They are so happy and united despite all the odds against them. This tells the story Of Jen and Bill from when they are born until they go to pick up their little dwarf adopted Son from China and their tiny dwarf girl from India. ( )

When we first entertained the idea of writing a book, we weren't entirely convinced that our lives would be of interest to others outside the sphere of our family and friends, and perhaps some colleagues.
