Simon and Schuster, Apr 1, 2014 - Biography & Autobiography - 288 pages

The wives of the Robertsons all came into the family the same way: they fell in love with one of the Robertson boys. Now, learn surprising insights about the women behind these famous bearded men and what makes their family work.

In the Duck Dynasty TV series, the women often come into their own when the whole family gathers around the table together to eat dinner, and fans of the show get a good glimpse into their lives, but that is hardly the whole story, which is why they decided to write this book...

In The Women of Duck Commander, the wives show how they have worked together to help one another and to support the family in all its work and its happiness. They are committed to timeless values, and in the book they share the insights, stories, and experiences that have made them who they are. The appeal of the Duck Dynasty comes, not because they are showing us anything new, but they are reminding us of the values our culture is in danger of losing.
