"This book is the inspirational story that we all need. No one makes me laugh harder than Leanne Morgan!"-Reese Witherspoon

The beloved comedy sensation packs a hilarious punch with real talk about what it's like to be a woman today-from rebelling against the latest diet trends to dealing with perimenopausal mean girls and attending rock concerts in middle age.


For a long time, no one pulling the strings in the comedy world thought that a woman over fifty from rural Tennessee could make it in the industry. But Leanne Morgan has defied the odds, reaching millions with her musings on hormones, low-rise britches, Weight Watchers, and her opposites-attract relationship with her husband, Chuck.

In her charming southern accent, Morgan brings readers inside her quest to find her voice after spending many years trying to figure out what that meant. Along the way, we learn how she grew up as a butcher's daughter, landed a husband with health insurance, honed her stand-up technique selling jewelry at house parties, embraced the glories of aging, and surrendered to the comfort of wearing big flesh-toned panties.

Equal parts warm and hilarious, this book is a must-read by one of comedy's rising stars-reminding you that every time life leaves you asking "What in the world?!," something good is bound to come out of it someday.
