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."

The queen didn’t disappoint

Reba has no idea that her song is there life out there saved my life when I was 16. Back in 1992 I’ll forever be grateful for her music and her. I even named my 1st daughter after her. I’m not the greatest reader (comprehension) so I got the audio book. I think it was 100% better than the physical book because you get to listen to reba and her siblings go thru stories n tell it from themselves in their voices. You get the laughs and the point. A book you read you don’t get that. Also you get to hear brooks and Dunn Trisha Kelly Vince gill and I didn’t realize lady A was linda Davis daughter and her dad is in Reba’s band. Over all it was awesome to listen to Reba her family and friends. Felt like I was in her living room n we were all chatting about life together . Truly a must hear even if you have the physical book. Luv you Reba 🫶🏻 thanks for saving my life! #forevergrateful

Faith, food and fun!!!

If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Hearing the Queen of country music tell her tale along with friends and family was truly beautiful. Pure joy from start to finish. I will listen to this again and again.

I loved it

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.

Where’s the PDF?

Loved the audio and stories, but where is the PDF that should have been attached with the download?

Made me smile

This book was everything I hoped it would be and more! I smiled the whole way through. And to have Reba be the one narrating it was just so spectacular. You could feel every emotion like if you were sitting next to her as she told her stories. Fantastic storytelling and great advice up to the very last page.

Is there anything Reba can't do!! Loved it!!

I have always enjoyed Reba's songs since a young girl... along with SO many other people around the world. Then I equally became a fan of her acting... But what I LOVE and enjoy MOST about Reba McIntyre is her down-to-earth and wholesome story telling. She brings you into her life like you're sitting on her couch drinking coffee and visiting like ole' neighbors. From her silly stories, her intimate and heartfelt memories of her beloved mama, to her wise but humorous life advice - Why would you NOT want to read this?! :) Thank You Reba!

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

Love Reba and all she has accomplished

This is one of my favorite books. Love all the stories she told and how honest she was. She is a wonderful singer, actress, entertainer, story teller and person. This book will have you laughing and crying.

Loved

Absolutly Love Reba
