Redneck Woman - Gretchen Wilson
Redneck Woman is the shared story of Gretchen Wilson's life and career. At a very young age Wilson experienced heartache and hardships that would forever shape and affect her life. Having a dysfuntional family life led to living a life of no boundaries and rebellion. This carefree life led to her drinking and smoking at an early age which inevitabley and eventually led to a long battle of alcohol abuse.
The book not only looks at her young life as a child but also the her many struggles trying to launch music career and the affects of her out of control life on her career. After some time Gretchen soon realized that her drinking and carefree lifestyke had turned into a real problem. Eventually she slowed down her drinking but admitteldy occasionally has a casual drink (which I felt sent a mixed message) but believes that she has this problem more under control.
Redneck Woman contains some pictures of Gretchen over the years which added to the story to help give the reader a visual of the story she shares with the reader. All in all this was an easy and interesting read that gives the reader a glimpse into the life of Gretchen Wilson.
