The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels—A Love StoryBy Ree Drummond
William Morrow. 2011. 341 pgs. Biography
"That's when I saw him—the cowboy—across the smoky room."
I'll never forget that night. It was like a romance novel, an old Broadway musical, and a John Wayne western rolled into one. Out for a quick drink with friends, I wasn't looking to meet anyone, let alone a tall, rugged cowboy who lived on a cattle ranch miles away from my cultured, corporate hometown. But before I knew it, I'd been struck with a lightning bolt . . . and I was completely powerless to stop it.
Read along as I recount the rip-roaring details of my unlikely romance with a chaps-wearing cowboy, from the early days of our courtship (complete with cows, horses, prairie fire, and passion) all the way through the first year of our marriage, which would be filled with more challenge and strife—and manure—than I ever could have expected.
This isn't just my love story; it's a universal tale of passion, romance, and all-encompassing love that sweeps us off our feet.
It's the story of a cowboy. And Wranglers. And chaps. And the girl who fell in love with them.
I’d read most of Ree and Marlboro Man’s story on her popular blog (www.thepioneerwoman.com) when she posted it segments a few years ago. Although there is not a lot of new material in this book, I thought it was an enjoyable read. Ree’s unique voice shines through the text and she even includes a few of her trademark recipes at the back of the book. If you are looking for a love story this February, this might just do the trick!
