FROM REBA:

"To me, there's nothing better than sitting on the back porch looking out at the land that goes on for miles. A beautiful sunset and then me, just sipping on a glass of iced tea (or whiskey and Sprite) with my friends and family. I don't know what heaven's going to look like, but I hope it feels like Oklahoma. Throw in some beans and cornbread, and I'm all set.

"Okies know that the secret to a good life is to keep things simple and be thankful for what the good Lord's given you. That's what I want to get back to. Simple fun, hard work, good food, and laughing with those you love. Everything I'm doing in my life from here on out—personal or professional, doesn't matter—I'm going to have fun.

"That’s what I'm sharing in this book—some simple, not-that-fancy truths I live by and a bunch of good stories, photos, and recipes that go along with them. So if you're looking to slow down, get back to basics, and have a heckuva lot of fun, I think we're going to have a good time together. Come on in, kick off your boots (or leave them on, I don’t care), and learn how to bring a little bit of my downhome-inspired life into your own."

Best book ever

Omg, this is a must read! I have always loved Reba’s music but this book brought a warmth to my heart. Wish I had her as my best friend. I wish you many more years of success. Love ya bunches from Texas!

Fun bio from a fun lady!!

I have been a Reba fan all my life and just knew I would love this book. I was not disappointed. The fun she has with her siblings and revisiting the childhood memories and a great bonus at the end. This woman has more class in her pinky that many people can ever hope for in their entire lives. Would recommend to anyone for great entertainment. And the pictures and recipes are an amazing BONUS to the fantastic story! Thank you, Reba!

Never a disappointment

Reba has been in the fabric of so many of our tapestries in life. Weaving her amazing storytelling through song, videos and acting. I’ve never been disappointed by any of her work. And now we have this lovely, intimate “chat” from her that feels as if we are almost sitting at the kitchen table swapping stories. A big Thank You to her and her friends for taking us on this journey. It was wonderful. I cannot wait to try some recipes. And I’m gonna go looking for her podcast on Spotify. God Bless.
