About this audiobook
A down-to-earth, hilarious collection of stories and musings on marriage, motherhood, and country life from the #1 New York Times bestselling author and star of the Food Network show The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond.

In stories brimming with the lively wit and humor found in her cookbooks and her bestselling love story, The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels, Ree pulls back the curtain and shares her experiences with childbirth, wildlife, isolation, teenagers, in-laws, and a twenty-five-year marriage to a cowboy/rancher.
A celebration of family life, love, and (mostly) laughter, Frontier Follies is a keepsake to curl up with, have a good laugh, and remember all that’s wonderful (and funny) about family.

72 ratings6 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved this book. Ree described life on the farm so well, and Nan’s stories! Oh, my! Laughed right along with her!,
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5If her recipes are anything like her book, they need salt. I got twelve chapters in and thought of shooting off my left big toe just to have some excitement.
Maybe if I read the book in my own tone, instead of listening to the audio version, it would be tolerable. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love everything about this book .Her humour made me laugh out loud
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love how down to earth and real Ree is!! One of my absolute favorites!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I couldn't wait to read this book about the back stage adventures in this ranch house, and I wasn't disappointed! I never read Ree's blog, but have all her books and have watched the show for the longest time. She cooks truly satisfying foods for ranch hands cowboys and family. I love her zest for life, love of all and the dogs and most of all love her because we share the same birthday! She has actually wished me a happy birthday a couple years in a row. Great book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a cute book that new (and current fans) of Ree Drummond would certainly enjoy. It contains short stories about her life (marriage, children) - sort of like little "vignettes". The book is a very easy read and contains a lot of laughs. She is very open and honest and does not sugar coat any of the stories. A very wonderful read.
