Each ticket for Akins' \"Live in Love\" Tour includes a copy of the memoir, and additional VIP packages are available, too. For a complete itinerary and purchasing details, visit Lauren's website.

\"Live in Love\" details Akins' journey into becoming who she is today.

It includes the story of her mission work in Haiti and Uganda, explaining how she and Rhett adopted the Ugandan child who is now their oldest daughter, Willa. The couple have since welcomed two more children, including their youngest, Lennon, who was born last month.
