The Anthology Part IV: Going Home will be on sale December 6th and may be pre-ordered now on Amazon and TalkShopLive. Filled with never-before-seen photos, this collection recounts the 14 years Garth spent in Oklahoma after stepping out of the spotlight and into the little yellow house where he became the dad he always wanted to be to his three daughters.
“ . . .Those fourteen years of my life are the ones I’ll always remember. It was life at its best. I learned to be a dad, my girls got to know me, and I’d never for one second regret walking away from a career in order to find all of that,” said Garth Brooks.
