PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Drummond, a blogger and best-selling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks, turns her popular blog chronicling her improbable city-girl-meets-rugged-cowboy saga into an affecting new memoir. Drummond deftly describes what happens when life takes a U-turn, taking readers from her chaste but steamy courtship with "Marlboro Man," to their subsequent wedding and Australian honeymoon, and into the first year of their marriage where the two decamped to Marlboro Man's isolated ranch (Drummond had been en route to a new life in Chicago when she met him). What emerges is a charming and romantic yet realistic tale of the forces that can test a new relationship no matter how good it is. She presents a sometimes riotously funny, always strikingly real tale of love and life. Drummond is intensely likable and writes with the facile confidence of one who clearly knows herself well. Plenty of surprises lie along the way, such as her parents' divorce and an immediate pregnancy following the nuptials. She's sure to have readers in tears and in stitches as they share her adventure. In a word: delightful. Includes several recipes.

True love will find you...
even when you are not looking for it! I could not put this book down! I thought I was the only person alive, who loves a man this much! Ree you have taken the words right out of my heart! After 40 years of marriage, I am still crazy in love with my husband. And although he is gorgeous in his Zagna suits, put him in Wranglers & a white shirt and I'm over the moon! What is it about guys & starched jeans??? I love this book & the love they share for each other! I wish everyone could know this kind of love once in their lifetime. I don't know who is luckier...Ree or her Marlborough Man!! (Buy The Pioneer Woman Cookbook to see photos of her life & family on the ranch! Plus it is just a great cookbook!!)
Wonderful!
I relate to her story so much as I am marrying a fourth generation farmer! I grew up in the country, not the city, but responsibilities are slightly different. My momma taught me so much about being a good wife and even better partner no matter who I worked with. Thank you are for the reminder that I’m not crazy about marrying this farmer of mine! 🖤

Loved this book. Couldn’t put it down. Need a follow-up with the rest of the children and her journey to The Pioneer Woman show.
