Do you know the real Paula Deen? You may think you know the
butter-loving, finger-licking, joke-cracking queen of
melt-in-your-mouth Southern cuisine. You may have even
visited The Lady & Sons to taste for yourself the down-home
delicacies that made her famous and even heard some version
of her Cinderella story (a single mom with two teenage sons
started a brown-bag lunch business with $200 and wound up
with a thriving restaurant, a fairy-tale second marriage,
and wildly popular television shows), but you have never
heard the intimate details of her often bumpy road to fame
and fortune. Courageously honest, downright inspiring, and just a little
bit saucy, Paula shares the highs and lows of her life in
the inimitable charming and irreverent style that you know
from her television shows and personal appearances. She
talks about long childhood summers spent in a bathing suit
and roller skates and hard years living in the back of her
father's gas station; a buzzing high school social life of
sleepovers, parties, cheerleading, and boys; and a difficult
marriage. The death of her beloved parents precipitated a
debilitating agoraphobia that crippled her for years. But
even when the going got tough, Paula never lost the good
grace and sense of humor that would eventually help carry
her to success and stardom. Of course, you can't get by on
charm alone: as Paula has learned, you need plenty of
willpower, hard work, and, above all, the love and support
of family and friends to finance, sustain, and run a
successful restaurant. In each chapter, Paula shares new recipes: there's serious
comfort food like her momma's Chocolate-Dippy Doughnuts,
Courage Chili for when you know life's going to get tough,
Sexy Oxtails for seducing that special someone, and the
recipe for her new mother-in-law's Banana Nut Delight Cake
that Paula finally got just right. And you'll love the
never-before-seen photos of her family. In this memoir, Paula Deen speaks as frankly and intimately
as few women in the public eye have ever dared. Whether
she's telling tales of good times or bad, her story is proof
that the old-fashioned American dream is alive and kicking,
and there still is such a thing as a real-life happy ending.
