Academy Award-winning actress, producer, and entrepreneur Reese
Witherspoon invites you into her world, where she infuses the southern
style, parties, and traditions she loves with contemporary flair and
charm.
Reese Witherspoon's grandmother Dorothea always said that a combination
of beauty and strength made southern women "whiskey in a teacup." We may
be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside we're
strong and fiery.
Reese's southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing
the joys of southern living with practically everyone she meets. She
takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties,
and plenty of Dorothea's fried chicken. It's reflected in how she
entertains, decorates her home, and makes holidays special for her
kids--not to mention how she talks, dances, and does her hair (in these
pages, you will learn Reese's fail-proof, only slightly insane
hot-roller technique). Reese loves sharing Dorothea's most delicious
recipes as well as her favorite southern traditions, from midnight barn
parties to backyard bridal showers, magical Christmas mornings to
rollicking honky-tonks.
It's easy to bring a little bit of Reese's world into your home, no
matter where you live. After all, there's a southern side to every place
in the world, right?
