She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass big holiday parties and plenty of Dorothea’s fried chicken. It’s reflected in how she entertains decorates her home and makes holidays special for her kids—not to mention how she talks dances and does her hair (in these pages you will learn Reese’s fail-proof only slightly insane hot-roller technique).
