"'Playing House' by Lincoln author Laura Chapman is a fictional account of the real lives of reality TV stars. Chapman gives us a glimpse into the off-camera lives of Waverly and Wilder Aldrich, the stars of home improvement reality TV show, 'Playing House with Waverly and Wilder,' and it turns out they may need editing to end their episode happily ever after."
