Simply Down To Earth and Inspiring!!!!

She has done it again! Reba's talents are non-stop but most of all her energy, her enthusiasm, dedication, and family orientation makes what she does so inspiring. This is shown not only in her music but also in how she is able to write down from memory what her past and present life was/is like. She did a ravishing job "piecing" together the memories of living life through family, friends, and music. Comfort From a Country Quilt is written in a way that speaks to the readers and inspires them. Her use of "country-style" words and phrases in the stories she tells literally makes the book warm, down-to-earth, and original. From the different autobiographies I have read Comfort From a Country Quilt is and always will be the best written because Reba writes in a "free-style" way. Reba skips the big terminology and tells her stories as if you were actually having a "back porch conversation" with her. Not to mention, having the audio version of Comfort From a Country Quilt, where Reba reads her own writing, gives the book that finishing touch. Reba has that voice that brings animation and character to the stories she tells. I recommend this book for everyone to read and get a touch of what life is filled with; you are here inspiring and being inspired through what you encounter through family, friends, and inspirations like Reba.

Reba + Book = TERRIFFIC

Whenever Reba and a book are mentioned in the same sentence, you know it must be great. I loved her last book, and was delighted to read this one. I was excited to read that her favorite song to sing at concerts is "Fancy". This song is my altime favorite. This peak into the life of a country singer was wonderful. I thought I was right there in her kitchen, in O.K., at suppertime. Overall, totally awesome.

Uplifting, puts you in a good space and mood

I have been a long fan of Reba McEntire. Her music has touched my life as many things have. But Reba is one individual you just can't forget esp. once you meet her. I was lucky to have done that. Now as I finish her second book, I am once more drawn to this special human being. This is a wonderful book!!I hope Reba opens her laptop and types another one soon.

A "Fancy" depiction of what true vivacity and strength is!

REBA has done it again! The follow up to her 1994 autobiography "Reba: My Story", "Comfort From a Country Quilt" seeks to uplift and enlighten. It succeeds. Simple life lessons, down-home values, love of family, and an undying quest for happiness is what comprises this inspirational collage. A perfect mixture! Proving once again that she has a square head atop her shoulders and under that red hair, REBA's words will both teach and touch - leaving you with a feeling of warmth only a country quilt can provide! Pick this one up!

Great Storyteller

I read this book and felt like Reba was right there telling me the stories. I laughed, cried and couldn't put the book down! This is a very inspirational book and a must read!
