Does anyone know if there has ever been such a book or ever will be such a book on the show, Growing Pains??

A BOOK.... With......
- Interviews, casting memories, specific events throughout 1985-1992 of the airing of the show, quotes, ... basically the story of the show and background information on each of the casts?

I would really love it if such a book exists!!!! Growing Pains is one of a kind spectacular and I just wish such a book exists!!!!!

Anyone know? I wish...

As far as I know, there are not. But there are a couple of books you may want to check out -

Room To Grow by Tracey Gold (autobiography)

Full House of Growing Pains by Barbara Cameron (mom of Kirk and Candace)

Both do tell some behind the stories tales of GP, and both sure have interesting stories to tell!!

Hey catlover,

thank you so so much for posting so quickly. For real, thank you!!! = )

I do have Barbara's book, "A Full House of Growing Pains" and I can't even begin to express how amazing her book is... It's breathtaking... For real, I hate to sound old fashion, but I mean it... It's one of a kind, awesome!

I was really interested in getting Tracey's book... Do you think you can explain more indepth on it for me?

Thanks again for all your great help!!!

On Youtube you can see a clip called the Gold Sisters, it talks about Tracy and her 2 younger sisters, one is a year younger and the other is like 6 years younger and all 3 act.
