NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “This book is the inspirational story that we all need. No one makes me laugh harder than Leanne Morgan!”—Reese Witherspoon
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 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.
 
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.

      Stand-up comedy fans will recognize Morgan's name and her humorous take on life, rendered in her hallmark Southern accent. What in the World?! is not only her debut but also a unifying catchphrase, popping up throughout this memoir, a candid, hilarious account of her life. From humble beginnings in a small Tennessee town where her family ran a grocery store and butcher shop to college and a string of poorly chosen boyfriends to her marriage to a struggling salesman, Morgan staunchly believed she would be a Hollywood star once she was discovered. Looking to supplement her family's income, Morgan began selling jewelry and telling funny stories to her customers; two decades later--and with some dashed dreams--she became an overnight success. Initially believing she needed to choose between family and fame, Morgan found one eventually led to the other. Sharing advice gleaned from her experiences and the Christian faith that grounds her, Morgan's narrative of the joys and foibles of marriage, parenthood, menopause, and even COVID-19 is heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny.
