Product Description:
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. PAULA DEEN is the bestselling author of Paula Deen Celebrates!; Paula Deen & Friends: Living It Up, Southern Style; The Lady & Sons Just Desserts; and other books. She is the host of the Food Network's Paula's Home Cooking and Paula's Party, and has appeared on Good Morning America, Today, Fox and Friends, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. Paula is the founder of The Lady & Sons restaurant and co-owner of Uncle Bubba's Oyster House. She lives with her family in Savannah, Georgia. SHERRY SUIB COHEN has written twenty-one books for major publishers and was a contributing editor at McCall's, Rosie, New Woman, and Lifetime magazines. She regularly writes for periodicals, including Parade, Family Circle, Redbook, Reader's Digest, and Ladies' Home Journal. Cohen is an award-winning member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors and lives with her husband, Larry, in New York City. She makes a great soup.

- Paula tells all !
This is a very endearing, but sometimes (more than I needed to know) book about her life with all it's ups and downs. She gets down and dirty, and always keeps you hanging on every word. I really enjoyed her book.

- Paula
I've enjoyed all of paula's shows and books. Her restaurants are great as well. This book about paula was quite interesting.
Rating: - The Irrepressible Paula Dean
You've got to love a woman who refers to Eleanor Roosevelt as Ellie. The irrepressible Paula Deen comes through in this book like the funny approachable woman that you see on TV.
With what seemed to be insurmountable problems, she managed to pull herself up from her bootstraps and go on to create a safe loving home with the financial security that she had always dreamed of for her boys first and then herself.
After marrying the wrong man and battling years of agoraphobia, ... Read More
Rating: - Not A Fan
I'm not a Paula Deen fan, but I gave this book 5 stars. It's extremely readable. I got a big laugh out of the part where her husband gave her $200 of her tax refund. She almost made a fan of me by her comments to the male preacher/marriage counselor. The book is inspiring, but I don't see why she would tell so many intimate details. Guess that sells and apparently she knows what sells. Having grown up with a Mother who was a good Southern cook, I have to say she did not put bacon and butter in her ... Read More
Rating: - Interesting Story
I enjoyed reading this book. I have seen Paula Deen on TV for the past 4 years and I like her style. The book gave me a closer look into the person, not just the cook. She has many interesting people in her life and I like how she is very honest and up front about the part they played in her life and her untimate success. If I ever get to Savannah, GA I will stop by The Lady & Sons restaurant, I won't mind the wait in line. Thanks to you Paula for sharing your story with us.
