I love Reba, she as close to country as a person can get, I love her attidude towards life, She always looks at things in a positive way and never lost sight of her dreams, even when at times she could have easily have given up, and when she had enemies that came against her she always did the right thing, this is what I loved most about Reba, is when she was asked to pay those certain people for that place she didn't falter, she held her head up high and paid even though she didn't have to, but...more
Reba's autobiography spans the period of her career prior to when I became a fan of her music, so for me, this book was an enjoyable learning experience. In fact, Reba tends to focus on her life outside of music, during her time working on the family farm and competing in roedos, for much of the book. However, if you think about where her music career was at the time of writing, those early experiences are what comprised the majority of her life.

I've read both books and just adore her too,
I love the fact she was so honest about everything to her family to her plane crush of killing several members of her band, I love how she talked about her son Shelby ( whom now is 22 years old ) and honestly i think she's genuine and real and so modest.. I love her work ethic that she follows in the footstepps of her very own idol Dolly Parton, though she continues too influnce many people around the world like Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Patty L...more

VERY INTERESTING book! MY FAVORITE female Country singer. She has a VERY interesting family. And lead a VERY interesting life. The tragic plane crash that killed her band members in the early 90's was just HEARTBREAKING! I didn't realize it happened in SanDiego! I also didn't realize that not only does Reba's current husband, Narvel had 3 children already before they got married, but her ex Charlie had also been married before with 2 boys. And that her son Shelby is now 21?!
It took me two long weeks to get through this book. A biography is meant to be savored and not blown through. I am amazed at her frankness and details of her life story in these pages. Very good positive reading. She seems like a really nice person to know. I truly enjoyed this book. Now I have to turn it over to my wife. She is the one who loves musicians' stories. =)
A fascinating story about growing up very tough in OK and then breaking into the music business. Since I do not listen to country and western I didn't know much about her life. I picked this up on impulse and was glad that I did.
i have 2 of rebas books. i absolutley recommend them to anyone. expecially if u like reba. i love reba so much and i loved the book. i know everything about her and now i know some more! she rocks!
Just love this little lady. She's an awesome singer & funny actress. She always seems happy & I like that she is involved with Habitat for Humanity.
I admit I read it just because it was Reba. As far as reads go, it's a quick.
Reba, my other favorite coffee table book, the woman is beautiful and talented, and this book shares her story, if you are a fan, it is certainly worth reading.

Not my usual cup of tea, but GREAT book.
Read this back in 2007! I loved it! :)
I enjoy Reba, as a person and as a performer. I liked her book. I love when people write they're biography and they use their own voice. yay Reba
I read this book right after reading Dolly Parton's autobiography and it seemed to be same "rags to riches" story without the humor I enjoyed in Dolly's book.
I really enjoyed this memoir even though I am not a huge fan of Reba's music. She does a masterful job of writing her autobiography. She tells the truth, sharing the not-so-pretty moments of her life, and endearing the reader to her through it all. It was very inspiring to me as a working musician, but I think anyone can benefit from the stories, the challenges, and the successes of this beautiful woman's life!

AWESOME!!! I loved reading about Reba in her words. Hearing the stories of how she started out and about her childhood growing up on a ranch in Oklahoma. I learned alot about hard work and what you can attain if you want something enough.
Was very impressed with this book. Had lots of pictures of her growing up, and was interesting to learn about her. Hope she writes another. This was written before she did the Reba TV show, so I'd like to read more of her life.
Her early life is very interesting but after that it's pretty much just the country singer's rise to fame and fortune.
Have read it twice; very good, a MUST if you're a country music fan!
