Comfort from a Country Quilt: Finding New Inspiration and Strength in Old-Fashioned Values

The New York Times Bestseller That Reads Like a Back-Porch Conversation with Reba!

In a dazzling career, Reba McEntire has become a true country superstar–and a trailblazing businesswoman with her own multimedia entertainment corporation. Yet she is a rare celebrity who is also beloved by her millions of fans for the way she lives her life. For Reba has balanced the demands of career and family, succeeded in show business without sacrificing her values, and kept up with the times without abandoning her country roots.

Here Reba writes about the roles a modern woman tries to fill, roles as many and varied as the fabric pieces of an heirloom quilt. Facing the challenges of being a wife, mother, stepmother, daughter, sister, performer, executive, community member, and Christian, Reba has found inspiration and comfort in the values of her past as an Oklahoma ranch girl. In this generous and wise book, she shows how you can keep traditional values fresh and vital in your own search for a fulfilling life.

Whether you read it for instant warmth or lasting inspiration, Comfort from a Country Quilt is a book that will make your spirits soar like the sweet high notes of a Reba McEntire song.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.

Right from the start McEntire establishes herself as a “modern country woman,” able to explore a spider’s web with her son as deftly as she can explore the World Wide Web. Herein lies the strength of McEntire’s writing, her ability to apply the old, country traditions to the more contemporary values that her readers are likely to identify with. Chapter titles such as “Tougher Than You Think,” “A Mama’s Way,” and “Let a Smile be Your Umbrella … but Don’t Forget Your Raincoat” all allude to the grit and honey texture of this loving book of back porch inspiration. –Gail Hudson
