About the Authors

Tracy Sumner is the coauthor of Matt Roloff's memoir, Against Tall Odds. He lives in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
Reviews
For such a unique family, the Roloffs' heavily ghost-written memoir is surprisingly conventional. Residents of Portland, Ore., and stars of TLC's popular reality TV show, Little People, Big World, the Roloffs are little people-Matt and his wife, Amy, stand less than four feet high; they have four children, one a little person, three of average size. Though this eclectic living situation suggests any number of intriguing perspectives, the book's "lessons" are sadly lacking in individual voices. Among sections written under the name of specific family members, including Matt's mother, the prose is indistinct. Lessons and insights are stock: Matt observes that "each of our children has the same two parents, and yet their personalities are all very different"; Amy, on "Roloff Family Value #3", perseverance, says "you keep going, even when things are difficult." The spark that Roloff family fans expect crops up in a few places, as in daughter Molly's brief diatribe on dealing with outsiders: "Sometimes I just want to say, 'Yeah, my mom and dad are short. So what?' " For the most part, unfortunately, the people presented here don't reflect the lively family of reality TV-in fact, they hardly seem real at all. Photos.
