The Pioneer Woman

In this charming and poignant follow up to her smash New York Times bestselling cookbook, the author expands on her blog memoir to reveal even more funny, embarrassing, touching, and inspiring moments she's never before shared - from her giddy twenty-something days dating surfer boys to the night she first met Marlboro Man to her dream honeymoon and the joys and real-life challenges of her first years of marriage. Ree writes candidly of how she coped with the reality of living in the heart of the country, miles away from a real grocery store (let alone a Starbucks), and how she came to terms with the life and love she chose. With her trademark humor and warmth, hers is the universal story of a young woman's transition from whimsical youth to full maturity - made unique by tornadoes, cows, and skunks. The Pioneer Woman reminds us what's really important: family, hard work, and the love of a sexy cowboy.
