About this listen
"That's when I saw him—the cowboy—across the smoky room."
"I'll never forget that night. It was like a romance novel, an old Broadway musical, and a John Wayne Western rolled into one. Out for a quick drink with friends, I wasn't looking to meet anyone, let alone a tall, rugged cowboy who lived on a cattle ranch miles away from my cultured, corporate hometown. But before I knew it, I'd been struck with a lightning bolt... and I was completely powerless to stop it.
"Listen as I recount the rip-roaring details of my unlikely romance with a chaps-wearing cowboy, from the early days of our courtship (complete with cows, horses, prairie fire, and passion) all the way through the first year of our marriage, which would be filled with more challenge and strife—and manure—than I ever could have expected.
"This isn't just my love story; it's a universal tale of passion, romance, and all-encompassing love that sweeps us off our feet. It's the story of a cowboy.
"And Wranglers.
"And chaps.
"And the girl who fell in love with them."

Is my ordinary, everyday life actually significant? Is it okay to be fulfilled by the simple acts of raising kids, working in an office, and cooking chicken for dinner? Melanie Shankle tackles these questions head-on. Easygoing and relatable, she speaks directly to the heart of women of all ages who are longing to find significance and meaning in the normal, sometimes mundane world of driving carpool to soccer practice, attending class on their college campus, cooking meals for their family, or taking care of a sick loved one.

She was the responsible, second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle’s nineteen kids; always with a baby on her hip and happy to wear the modest ankle-length dresses with throat-high necklines.

Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said 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.

Behind the curtain of her happy on-screen persona, Valerie Bertinelli’s life has been no easy ride, especially when it comes to her own self-image and self-worth. She waged a war against herself for years, learning to equate her value to her appearance as a child star on One Day at a Time and punishing herself in order to fit into the unachievable Hollywood mold. She struggled to make her marriage to Eddie Van Halen—the true love of her life—work, despite all the rifts the rock-star lifestyle created between them.

How can you stay true to who God has uniquely created you to be in the face of the script you’ve been given? What’s more, how can you stand your ground with grace? The classy confidence you know and love - whether it’s on set at Full House or Fuller House, Dancing with the Stars, The View, or Candace’s Hallmark films - is no act. But it hasn’t come easy.

Editorial reviews
Ree Drummond, author of the award-winning ThePioneerWoman.com, once advised her readers interested in blogging themselves to “write as if you’re talking to your sister”. Charmingly self aware, Drummond possesses a voice not unlike what she describes, one that pervades her writing and narration of The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels. Listening to her tell the story of how she fell in love, you quickly feel as though you’ve known Drummond for years.
The Pioneer Woman is an enchanting retelling of how Drummond made a life-altering transition from city girl to country girl. Fresh out of college in Los Angeles, where she studied Journalism at USC, it would be uncharacteristic for Drummond to trade her black pumps for a pair of cowboy boots to be with a Marlboro Man in rural Oklahoma, but that’s just what she did. On paper, one may prejudged her as a whimsical woman just dropping everything for a man, but Drummond convinces the listener that life is not always about doing what you’re expected to do, even if the unexpected involves settling down right where you grew up. Her love story is ballsy, passionate, and captivating.
This is not a conventional love story, yet Drummond does incorporate a playful Harlequin romance tone which is charming and effective, especially as it extends into her narration. A delight not just for fans of Drummond’s blog, The Pioneer Woman is a satisfying listen from a quick-witted, charismatic woman with an endearing love story. Suzanne Day

Loved It!
Great story and performance by Ree Drummond. As a huge fan, I enjoyed learning more about her history to becoming The Pioneer Women. I found myself reminiscing throughout the entire book about the early days of meeting, dating, and marrying my husband and the many events that have brought us closer throughout the years. 🤗

Perfect recipe for romantics and Ree Drummond fans!
Sweet, easy listening for anyone that enjoys straight forward love stories. Add a pinch of Ree’s dry humor, a handful of silly puns and a large dose of her kind and gentle manner and you have a perfect recipe for a down home romance novel!

HOOK LINE AND SINKER!
I know I must have been living under a rock until I recently walked into a Walmart and my eye caught the spectacular line of The Pioneer Woman's kitchen garb.... Dishes, bowls, measuring cups, sugar bowls, butter dishes, towels, you name it - if it was for the kitchen they had it! To make it even more enticing it was in "my style". I feel in love. I thought "who is this Pioneer Woman" - I googled her - and boy was shocked - where had I been when she was taking over the world. I instantly subscribed to her magazine.... found everything I could about Ms. Ree and then found this book -
I spent last Saturday watching youtube video's of her cooking and became obsessed not in a stalker way - more like where has this person been all my life way -I then spent the next few days listening to this book. NOW I AM A HUGE FAN! This book is written from Ree's perspective - it's witty and full of inner dialog that I thought I had exclusive rights to. I've never read a book that made me feel like I was not alone in the "dork" world - I appreciate her more and feel a kinship - I'm sure that is why she is so popular - she makes you feel like she could be your best friend - that if she was at an appearance would spent countless minutes talking to you and making you feel welcome. Like Ree I made sure I had makeup on when I went to the hospital to give birth the first time including reapplying lip gloss right after my son's delivery....
Pioneer Woman Fans - get this book - enjoy and savor it - I will be listing to it again and again!
Signed a Fan in Portland!

I loved that Ree told her story in her voice. My sister and I listened to this on a road trip and never stopped smiling. So forthcoming and down to earth. Although I did have to look up the Marlboro Man’s name. Such a great book!!

Real Life Romance and Humor
This is the story of Ree Drummond, a city girl with big city plans, swept off her feet by "Marlborough Man" to a home on a remote cattle ranch in Oklahoma complete with all the eye-opening moments such a major life change entails. I'm a big fan of Ree's Pioneer Woman blog- a delightful spot for country cooking, gorgeous photography, and humorous anecdotes. Her audio book is just as much fun as her blog, and best of all, it is read by the author herself.
