Overview
Overview
Academy Award-winning actress, producer, and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon invites you into her world, where she infuses the southern style, parties, and traditions she loves with contemporary flair and charm. Reese Witherspoon's grandmother Dorothea always said that a combination of beauty and strength made southern women "whiskey in a teacup." We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside we're strong and fiery. Reese's southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of southern living with practically everyone she meets. She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties, and plenty of Dorothea's fried chicken. It's reflected in how she entertains, decorates her home, and makes holidays special for her kids--not to mention how she talks, dances, and does her hair (in these pages, you will learn Reese's fail-proof, only slightly insane hot-roller technique). Reese loves sharing Dorothea's most delicious recipes as well as her favorite southern traditions, from midnight barn parties to backyard bridal showers, magical Christmas mornings to rollicking honky-tonks. It's easy to bring a little bit of Reese's world into your home, no matter where you live. After all, there's a southern side to every place in the world, right?

Disappointed
HPB S. - 6 years agoA bit disappointed, I hate to say, as I am a fan of Reese. I found her list of how Southerners pronounce words to be insulting. Seemed like an affectation to sell a book to non-Southerners. Most of us are better educated and more well-read than to speak "hill-billy." This was a silly contrast with most of the narrative, describing growing up wealthy in West Nashville. For me, the only saving grace was some good recipes that I will use, especially to entertain. Unfortunately, disappointed in the photos of Reese, as well. One big grin after another. Would rather have seen her in daily life, not panning for the camera. Sorry, Reese.

Perfect title!! Elevated content and it delivered!
Maria W. - 6 years 3 months agoLoved the book! The outside condition of the book was a bit more worn than other books I received with the same description but on a positive note I can see a person referencing the information often!!! Wish Reese would write another book!!

Delightful
Megan W. - 6 years 5 months agoLoved the tone of the whole book. Reese is a great story teller. I immediately watched Walk the Line after reading. Loved hearing about how much the south means to her and how to throw a proper dinner party.
