“Duck Dynasty” fans will have to wait until Jan. 6 for the premiere of the A&E reality series’ new season. However, if you’re interested in learning more about the famous family right now, Missy Robertson’s new book — “Blessed, Blessed… Blessed” — is the perfect read.
Released in October from Tyndale Momentum, Missy’s tome delves into her and husband Jase’s struggle with raising daughter Mia, who was born with a facial abnormality — or, as the book cover says, “the untold story of our family’s fight to love hard, stay strong, and keep the faith when life can’t be fixed.”
Did you always want to work in fashion?
No. I was not a shopper. I didn’t know how to put an outfit together to save my life. A friend of mine, who owns a boutique in town, helped and introduced me to some people in the fashion business and it just took off from there. Things that frustrated me when I was shopping — like not being able to find modest clothing that was actually cute and stylish at the same time — I just went ahead and created that myself. That’s what we’ve been doing.
Looking through your book, I saw some cute photos of Jase from when he didn’t have that beard.
I don’t like the beard. I can’t wait until he wants to shave it off, and we can just ride off together into the sunset, and nobody knows who he is.
Did he consult you when he decided to start growing it?
Well, I knew early on that he would always grow it out for duck season. He would grow it from August until the last day of duck season and, the next morning, he would shave it. So I had my clean-cut, preppy-looking guy from Feb. 1 through July 31. I had about seven months out of the year and then he would start growing it back. But now they don’t shave it off. I just have to deal with it.

“Duck Dynasty” returns to A&E Wednesday, Jan. 6, at 9 p.m. ET.
