About this listen

Academy Award–winning actress, producer, and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon invites you into her world, where she infuses the southern style, parties, and traditions she loves with contemporary flair and charm.

Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said that a combination of beauty and strength made southern women “whiskey in a teacup.” We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside we’re strong and fiery.

Reese’s southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of southern living with practically everyone she meets. She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties, and plenty of Dorothea’s fried chicken. It’s reflected in how she entertains, decorates her home, and makes holidays special for her kids—not to mention how she talks, dances, and does her hair (in these pages, you will learn Reese’s fail-proof, only slightly insane hot-roller technique). Reese loves sharing Dorothea’s most delicious recipes as well as her favorite southern traditions, from midnight barn parties to backyard bridal showers, magical Christmas mornings to rollicking honky-tonks.

It’s easy to bring a little bit of Reese’s world into your home, no matter where you live. After all, there’s a southern side to every place in the world, right?

Ms Reese Witherspoon takes you through lively antidotes and sweet mementos all the while reminding you what it feels like to be at home. I loved this book from beginning to end and it feels like she's invited you onto her southern front porch.

Thank-you!

I liked the little insights into Southern life.
The parental advice and wisdoms reminded me of my grandmother's and mother's teachings here in Canada ...where being polite has always been deemed important. I think it comes from our English roots. This politeness hasn't always been understood in the states where is it sometimes interpreted as being weak, whereas we are just being polite!

the accompanying PDFs sound interesting and I shall look them up.

I think this book will be loved by Reese fans, luckily that includes me! It was a super cute listen that got me through an afternoon or two of putting in the spring garden. It was a stark contrast after having just listened to Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights and between the two they really highlight two different sides of growing up in the American South. Hers is a lovely retelling of family and growing up a southern lady. Bonus, I love that she includes a PDF of her family recipes that gives a sense of connection you don’t often get with audio books!
