I'm not a fan of her food particularly, and I'm west coast born and bred--not particularly crazed about southern food, I mean. I also own none of her cookbooks and don't want to I suppose--or I would (I have about 3,000 cookbooks). BUT I found myself *enthralled* by Paula Deen's book. I read it cover to cover like an addict. It is MOST inspiring. I have raved about it to several people, especially people who seem to be worth more then they appear to feel OR they just didn't get some of the good breaks that others have. This AMAZING Paula gal was in BED and DOWN/OUT much of her adult life!! I was shocked that she has only recently KICKED LIFE IN THE BUTT! What will-power and energy she has now. I think everyone (women especially) should read this book!!!! And BTW, bravo to her for raising her boys to be the rocks they have been to their mom in biz and in personal life. THEY are really accomplishments!!
