MORGAN!ABOUT THIS EVENT
Union Ave Books is thrilled to present LEANNE MORGAN FOR HER _*DEBUT
BOOK__ , __What In The World?!__ __A Southern Woman's Guide To
Laughing At Life's Unexpected Curveballs And Beautiful Blessings_* .
As Reese Witherspoon said, “this book is the inspirational story
that we all need. With hard work, determination, and a quick sense of
humor, Leanne Morgan went from marriage to motherhood to realizing her
dreams. And she tells you all about it—yes, all of it—in her
signature tell-it-like-it-is southern style that will make you chuckle
from start to finish. No one makes me laugh harder than Leanne
Morgan!"
During the event, Leanne will be in conversation with Hallerin Hill, a
top-rated drive-time radio talk show host for more than 30 years.
_*ABOUT THE AUTHOR_*
Leanne Morgan is a comedian, actress, writer, producer, wife, mother,
and grandmama. Her first Netflix special, I’m Every Woman, was one
of the most-watched specials on Netflix in 2023. Leanne has been named
to the Forbes 50 Over 50 list and Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch list.
When she’s not on the road, Leanne loves to be at home in Knoxville,
Tennessee, with her husband, three children, two grandbabies, and
beagle.
_*ABOUT THE BOOK_*
The beloved comedy sensation packs a hilarious punch with real talk
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.
For a long time, no one pulling the strings in the comedy world
thought that a woman over fifty from rural Tennessee could make it in
the industry. But Leanne Morgan has defied the odds, reaching millions
with her musings on hormones, low-rise britches, Weight Watchers, and
her opposites-attract relationship with her husband, Chuck.
In her charming southern accent, 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 meat
cutter’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.
Equal parts warm and hilarious, this book is a must-read by one of
comedy’s rising stars—reminding you that every time life leaves
you asking “What in the world?!,” something good is bound to come
out of it someday.
