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

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.

Love!

Great Listen! I love Reba! She’s such a bright light in this world! Love the recipes!

Reba is a gem!

If you love Reba this is a wonderful book to enjoy. Hearing her voice narrate was my favorite part along with all the stories of her career and childhood. The interview with her siblings is also so special!

Reba

Fun listen about her life, career, family and friends. Loved her childhood stories and learning about her barrel racing.

If you love Reba then you'll love this book

I loved every minute of this book. Reba is so genuine and at times so vulnerable you just have to love her.

Wanted her not celebrity chatter

Celebrity Boring Comments/interviews were frustrating. I bought the book to hear Reba not them

BLESSINGS of an Angel

Truest of true Gods angel on earth. May we all be inspired to live life and treat others as Reba McEntire has lived her life.

Reba is so real and honest. I love that.

I loved hearing the stories of how she was raised. I also enjoyed the different points of view from her friends and her siblings. I would love to read more about Reba.

Fantastically Reba!

This is a great book for everyone from the person who doesn't really know who Reba is, to the super fan! It is better with Reba's narration...Perfection!
