Non-Fiction Memoir
Born in rural Illinois and raised by a single mom, Gretchen Wilsons formal education concluded in the eighth grade when she started tending bar at Big Os, a rough and tumble joint. By the time she was 15, she was managing the place with the help of a loaded 12-gauge to keep folks in line. But her voice provided the most firepower. Discovered while singing with a house band in Nashville, Wilson soon joined the ranks of the Muzik Mafia and the rest is history. Her debut album Here for the Party was certified quadruple platinum and established her as the top-selling debut artist of the year for any genre. And her signature knack for storytelling and connecting with an audience made her a superstar. Co-written by acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Allen Rucker, Redneck Woman: Stories from My Life will recount this All-American success story as Gretchen shares her childhood memories, the road to the top, inspirations (Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard), fashion preferences (Wal-Mart over Victorias Secret), connoisseurship (beer over champagne), and much more in an open, honest, and hilarious memoir that will enchant new and old fans alike.
