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."

This book was a gem. I love Reba so much! This book made me laugh, get teary eyed, and made me a little hungry lol. I loved hearing about how Reba was raised and what made her the woman she is today. Im glad I listened to the audio because it was enjoyable, light hearted, and fun to listen to especially with Reba giving the commentary. It was also nice hearing about the interviews other artists and friends talk about their relationships with Reba.

Loved

This book was great! Thank you Reba! I love the party game ideas and decorating ideas too!

A Treasure

Absolutely loved this book. As if I didn’t already want to be related to Reba, this book really made me wish I was. What a great story! Thankful Reba wrote this book. Loved hearing her history and thoughts!

Authentic and Engaging

Oh I absolutely enjoyed this book! It was a delight to listen to Reba narrate the book. it was especially great to listen to her fellow artists, friends and family share their fond memories about Reba.

It was heartwarming, and yes, heartbreaking to learn so much about this iconic country artist. She is a legend for good reason. It was the kind of book that made me feel like I was hanging out on the front porch with friends and later by the campfire with more friends. I loved it through and through.

Who Doesn't Love Reba?

The best part of this book was hearing it in Reba's voice. I didn't just learn more about Reba, I learned more about myself. She challenges you to really take a look at how much time you spend with friends and family. After one of her chapters, I text my best friend and told her how much I appreciated her. Reba reminds you to always be yourself because is that is the vest version of you and you are enough.

The real Reba

I loved this book. It showed me what I pretty much already knew about Reba McEntire that is what you see is what you get. It was a delightful book with lots of wonderful stories. I look forward to trying some of her recipes. 

I highly recommend it 

easy listen

It wasn't exactly what I thought it was but heck it's Reba! It really made me think about a few things in my life and that's what Reba has a way of doing. I always love listening to her voice, singing or speaking and her reading this was perfect.

Reba rocks

Down to earth, good stories - not fancy but just right! Gives great perspective on what drives this woman to be successful and still down to earth.

A beautiful reminder of how to live life and embrace what’s important.

Learning about this remarkable woman through her own words, as well as the words (and voices) of so many who know, love and respect her, is inspirational. It makes me want to be a better friend, a better daughter, a better mother, overall, a better person. I once read a book that asked for the reader to write their own eulogy… to try and think about how they’ll be remembered by others. This. Is a beautiful reminder to live and give and love. To be thought of and revered the way this woman is… like I said. It’s inspirational.

Loved every second

Life long fan and Reba never disappoints. She is what a good person with a big heart looks like we should all try to live just as she does
