She Stays takes you behind the scenes of the dream-come-true romance of Bettye and Ricky Van Shelton to a world of personal struggle and turmoil that threatened to destroy their marriage and everything they held dear. It also brings you face-to-face with a woman's commitment to her marriage and the pain of forgiving that to many would be unforgivable - including infidelity and alcoholism - unless you knew that what you had was really worth keeping.
I just finished Mrs. Shelton's book, "She Stays" this past month. Like my Mom, I read it all at once. I loved it. It is the greatest book I have ever read! I am so happy for Mr. and Mrs. Shelton. I am so pleased that they were able to find God like that. Also to Andy, I hope I can have a friend like her, through the miracle of God. I feel like Mrs. Shelton is my Aunt, and I am so happy for her. It is so great that she can have a happy marriage with Ricky Van Shelton, and share their awesome story with the world! I am 16 yrs. old, and plan to have my own daughter read "She Stays" some day.
Once I began reading this book, I could not put it down.

I think that Bettye Shelton has shown us how love, devotion, and prayer can change your life. She endured a time in her life when she easily could have walked out on her husband, Ricky Van Shelton. She chose to stay, and work through it because of her love for him, and her faith in God. Her friends were there for her when she needed them, and helped her to gain back her self esteem and to "fight the good fight" to win back her husband. I could not put this book down, and have now read it three times. A must for every woman who loves her husband.
A testimony to marriage and friendship.

A truly inspirational book showing what faith and friendship can accomplish. Gives true meaning to "Let Go, Let God." Bettye is a hero. It took great courage to write this book but I know by the many times I have read it and others have too, that it touches everyone in someway. Bettye, Ricky & Andy gave a precious gift-themselves-in the hopes of helping others.
Great book by two great ladies

She Stays is a wonderful book of spirit and dedication that a wife has for her husband, and to what lengths she will go to keep him. Reading this book is so similar to reading an experience in your Guideposts, entitled "God's Mysterious Ways". Everything from Andy Landis showing up to help Bettye just when she was on the verge of giving up, was absolutely a blessing to read. I have read this book several times over, and highly recommend it, especially for those having trouble with faith. This will restore your faith!
This is a wonderful book that has truly inspired me.

I have read this book three times! Ihave gone thru some very hard times in the past year and many,many times when i felt like there was no hope i would go back to this book and find just the right inspiration i needed to go on.The book makes you realize that even though Ricky is a superstar,Bettye and Ricky are still real people and go through the same kinds of problems we do.It was very kind of them to open theyre lives up for all the world to see just to help others. I for one feel they are two very wonderful and special people who because of this book have helped me to realize that no matter how far gone someone seems to be, with God and someone praying for them that refuses to give up all things are possible! This is a wonderful book ,written by a special lady about a special couple!
