What in the World?!

A Southern Woman's Guide to Laughing at Life's Unexpected Curveballs and Beautiful Blessings

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “This book is the inspirational story that we all need. No one makes me laugh harder than Leanne Morgan!”—Reese Witherspoon

Look for Leanne Morgan’s new standup special, Unspeakable Things, and her hit sitcom, Leanne, both available on Netflix.

The beloved comedy sensation packs a hilarious punch with real talk about what it’s like to be a woman today—from rebelling against the latest diet trends to dealing with perimenopausal mean girls and attending rock concerts in middle age.

For a long time, no one pulling the strings in the comedy world thought that a woman over fifty from rural Tennessee could make it in the industry. But Leanne Morgan has defied the odds, reaching millions with her musings on hormones, low-rise britches, Weight Watchers, and her opposites-attract relationship with her husband, Chuck.

In her charming southern accent, Morgan brings readers inside her quest to find her voice after spending many years trying to figure out what that meant. Along the way, we learn how she grew up as a butcher’s daughter, landed a husband with health insurance, honed her stand-up technique selling jewelry at house parties, embraced the glories of aging, and surrendered to the comfort of wearing big flesh-toned panties.

Equal parts warm and hilarious, this book is a must-read by one of comedy’s brightest stars—reminding you that every time life leaves you asking “What in the world?!,” something good is bound to come out of it someday.

“This book is the inspirational story that we all need. With hard work, determination, and a quick sense of humor, Leanne Morgan went from marriage to motherhood to realizing her dreams. And she tells you all about it—yes, all of it—in her signature tell-it-like-it-is southern style that will make you chuckle from start to finish. No one makes me laugh harder than Leanne Morgan!”—Reese Witherspoon

“What in the World?! has a lot going for it. It’s the twisting, up-from-nowhere story of a working-class woman who went from helping her husband sell mobile homes to sudden success relatively late in life. I devoured it in two sittings.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times

“Leanne Morgan’s What in the World?! made me laugh, cry, relate . . . all of it! I saw myself in her stories of growing up on a farm and having big dreams, and not having any idea how to make them come true. And she tells every story with great humor and a big heart. I was cheering for her all along as I watched her faith and determination take her to the top of her game. I adore Leanne now more than I already did! I loved every word.”—Trisha Yearwood

“It is a scientific fact that everyone loves Leanne Morgan, and for good reason. She is warm, inviting, kind, and very funny. Somehow, What in the World?! captures and delivers all of Leanne’s charms. This book is exactly what we need today. I could hear her say every word I read.”—Jim Gaffigan

“If you read this book in public, just know you will experience numerous giggle fits at any given moment. But the risk is worth the reward! What a treasure we have in this blond, big-panty-wearing southern belle who’s not afraid to share some of her life’s most honest and sometimes embarrassing stories. Leanne is, as she likes to say, a doll.”—Fortune Feimster

“I’m not a good reader. But with my wife’s help I read the whole thing! You will enjoy this book cover to cover just like we did. Leanne is one of the most original people I have ever met, and I’m lucky to get to have her as a friend.”—Nate Bargatze

Funny and honest

I must be living under a rock because I have never even heard of Leanne Morgan. A friend actually recommend this and I’m glad they did. Did I think she was “pee my pants” funny? No. Some of the jokes and silliness was a bit over the top and cheesy and there were some awkward pauses and fluctuations in her reading (better editing maybe?) but her story was fascinating. She did an excellent job conveying emotion and there were aspects of her story that were funny because they were so relatable. It was a great quick read and I’d recommend it. I’d love to see her on stage sometime.

Fun from Tennessee

I really like Leanne Morgan and her way of delivering her story. I think I prefer her speaking raw and off the cuff, even though part of her show. Her reading her book was not my favorite but still fun. She has great messages and her story is different than most.

The sweetest, funniest momma

I laughed and teared up. Leanne is so funny and sweet as can be. If you like her comedy you’ll love this. If you don’t know who she is, you’ll still love this book. Especially if you’re a mother.

Her humor and candor. Love her !!!!

All the details of Leanne’s everyday experience and existence. Great Attitude even when time are rough. This is a wonderful roadmap to hit these things head on.

The best what in the world moments!

A must listen, I literally finished on the way to fall break! I drowned out my family with my earbuds and had the best ride to our destination!
