I have been a Reba McEntire fan for as long as I can remember, so when I saw she had a new book out, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. This is a lifestyle and food memoir with impactful personal anecdotes and wonderful recipes. There is a lot of focus on her faith, and spending time with family and friends. The recipes have beautiful pictures, and all sound delicious. If you enjoy a good food memoir or are a Reba fan, definitely grab this book!

This was a great mix of stories from Reba's long and wonderful career, with stories from her childhood, and recipes from her restaurant and her life. I love how close Reba remains with her family and friends despite the amount of travel her career requires. The photos in this book are stunning and I cannot wait to try these recipes.

Through down-home storytelling, Reba McEntire offers her fans a glimpse into her personal life, as well as a healthy dose of traditional, God-lovin' values. Like a quilt, McEntire's book of country comfort is stitched from real-life material–little scraps of wisdom that miraculously piece together into a heartfelt mosaic.

I think this is the Reba-version of Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Comfort from a country quilt by McEntire_ Reba
This book starts out talking about the life of Reba throughout her years.
Love the correlation of the quilt and the pieces of her life as they are depicted on the quilt. My mom also made quilts and you knew how much time she spent making them as I make them myself.
They are so treasured now that she's gone just as treasured when she gave them to you.
Found it interesting to learn how her singing career started as I don't follow country western singers. Enjoyed this story.
Loved all the chapters of giving back and memories of riding in back seat of car across country as my husband described it also to me with 7 siblings.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
