What in the World?! A Southern Woman's Guide to Laughing at Life's Unexpected Curveballs and Beautiful Blessings by Leanne Morgan; 2024. Hardcover.

Leanne Morgan talks about what it's like to be a woman today--from rebelling against the latest diet trends to dealing with perimenopausal mean girls and attending rock concerts in middle age. The comedian author muses on hormones, low-rise britches, Weight Watchers, and her opposites-attract relationship with her husband, Chuck.

Morgan brings readers inside her quest to find her voice after spending many years trying to figure out what that meant. Along the way, we learn how she grew up as a butcher's daughter, landed a husband with health insurance, honed her stand-up technique selling jewelry at house parties, embraced the glories of aging, and surrendered to the comfort of wearing big flesh-toned panties.
