PAULA DEEN:
IT AIN'T ALL ABOUT THE COOKIN'
BY PAULA DEEN
WITH SHERRY SUIB COHEN

ABOUT THE BOOK:
You may think you know the butter-loving, finger-licking, joke-cracking, queen of melt-in-your-mouth Southern cuisine. You may have even heard some version of her Cinderella story (a single mom with two teenage sons started a brown-bag lunch business with $200 and wound up with a thriving restaurant business, a fairy-tale second marriage, and wildly popular television shows), but you have never heard the intimate details of her often bumpy road to fame and fortune.

Courageously honest, downright inspiring, and just a little bit saucy, Paula shares the highs and the lows of her life in her inimitable charming and irreverent style. She talks about her childhood, the difficulty of her first marriage, and how the death of her beloved parents precipitated a debilitating agoraphobia that crippled her for years. But even when the going got tough, Paula never lost the good grace and sense of humor that would eventually help carry her to success and stardom.

Whether she's telling tales of good times or bad, Paula Deen speaks as frankly and intimately in this memoir as few women in the public eye have ever dared. Her story is proof that the good, old-fashioned American dream is alive and kicking, and there is still such a thing as a real-life happy ending.

FROM PAULA DEEN'S WEBSITE, PAULA WRITES, "In my new book, I talk openly about the good times and bad in my relationships with my sons Jamie and Bobby. I also recount my courtship and second marriage to "Shaggy Man" Michael Groover – and the difficulties we overcame to unite our families as one. I lay all my cards on the table to reveal my reluctant addiction to smoking and my weakness for salty language. Of course, no Paula Deen book would be complete without recipes, so I close each chapter with one of my favorites."
