The best things in life are really not that fancy. This photo-driven
book featuring all-things-Reba invites you to get back to the basics of
life: fun, food, friends, and family. In her first book in over two
decades, actress and country music legend Reba McEntire takes you behind
the scenes and shares the stories, recipes, and Oklahoma-style truths
that guide her life.
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 in these pages. 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."
