Summary of Redneck Woman Stories From My LIfe with Allen Rucker


This book is an country music. The book has chapters 1-11. The pages are 1-200. It talks about Gretchen Wilson.

I have music through the book on every chapter excepts 11 doesn't. She was born on Pocahontas, IL. Her mom, Christine, gave birth to her only daughter, Gretchen Frances Wilson, when she was sixteen. Her father, who I didn't really meet until I was twelve years old, was a local boy she had married at fifteen. She dropped out of schoolin the beginning of the tenth grade. At the time of their marriage, my mom was eighteen and he was twenty-eight. My mom married my step father for stability and he was anything, but stable. Soon after her second marriage my mom had another child, my step brother, half-brother, Josh, who I now just call my brother since he've been so close for so long.

They all ways moved every week. As the two of us sat around the kitchen table, cussing out Eric, I decided to light up a cigarette, a habit I had recently picked up from my Cuban pals in Miami. Vickie, at that point a non smoker, was shocked. "A cigarette? You're only twelve!" I told her I'd reach her how to smoke a cigarette if she left her parents when let me have a beer. She left her parents when she was at fifteen. Her grandpa had $2,000 or more and squirrel it away in a secret hiding place. In 2000, Grandpa Vernon died and Grandma died too.

She likes to her story again and she had pictures of her life too. The Gretchen Wilson's first album, Here for the Party, debuted at #1 on the Billboard country chart, and she received a Grammy in 2004 for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. She lives in Nashville with her daughter, Grace. Allen Rucker is the author of seven books of nonfiction and humor, including the New York Times #1 bestselling The Sopranos Family Cookbook.
