  • You're looking for a polished business strategy manual or step-by-step entrepreneurship guide.

About this book

Jenny Doan's memoir traces her family's journey from humble beginnings to building the Missouri Star Quilt Company, now the largest supplier of pre-cut quilting fabric. Starting as a homeschooling mom with a corner shop, Doan and her husband Ron raised seven children on a limited budget while working together to renovate a deteriorating farmhouse into a family home. The book details how faith, hard work, and a commitment to giving shaped both the family's ability to overcome difficulties and the company's growth. Doan describes the behind-the-scenes story of building the business while revitalizing their small town in Missouri. The memoir covers the family's experiences, values, and the role generosity played in their success.
