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."

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Beautiful book. Lovely heartwarming stories! I love so much it!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book! I've always been a fan of Rebas. Ever since I heard Fancy for the first time! But now I'm an even a bigger fan! I'm so glad she narrated this book herself! No one else would have been able to do it! And then to hear all of her celebrity friends and how much they love her! And to listen to her and her siblings reminiscing! It was like being a fly on the wall! I got this book for Christmas and just loved the visual of it! And all of the recipes! But you definitely have to listen to the audiobook along with it!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a little of her history, anf and other singers talking about her.
