THE PIONEER WOMAN: BLACK HEELS to TRACTOR WHEELS (Ree Drummond)

I am not normally a reader of romances, but Drummond's autobiographical story of a young woman's transition from dedicated city girl and aspiring law student to rancher's wife is a true-life romance that delighted from start to finish.  The meeting, the courtship, Ree's last minute decision to change her plans to move Chicago and instead focus on her relationship with her "Marlboro Man,"  their marriage and disastrous honeymoon, and her transition to living on an isolated ranch away from family and friends all combine into a charming and very readable biography.  If you have ever watched Ree Drummond on the Food Network you will LOVE this book, and even if you haven't I suspect that her sense of humor and positive take on almost any setback will charm you.
