If you like Paula Deen, you will enjoy the book. The same personality that comes across in her shows comes through the text on the page. Paula promised to tell her story warts and all which she does. What you learn is that she's absolutely human--we all do or say things we aren't necessarily proud of later on in life. She's very respectful of her first husband and while we learn why the marriage doesn't work Paula doesn't stoop to the level of trashing him. Paula has worked hard for her success and took chances that others might not have. Hard work combined with a winning personality has brought her a long way from having been afraid to leave her home.
