Summary

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 listeners 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-listen 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.

Critic reviews

“Leanne Morgan’s What in the World?! made me laugh, cry, relate . . . all of it! I saw myself in her stories of growing up on a farm and having big dreams, and not having any idea how to make them come true. And she tells every story with great humor and a big heart. I was cheering for her all along as I watched her faith and determination take her to the top of her game. I adore Leanne now more than I already did! I loved every word.”—Trisha Yearwood

“It is a scientific fact that everyone loves Leanne Morgan, and for good reason. She is warm, inviting, kind, and very funny. Somehow, What in the World?! captures and delivers all of Leanne’s charms. This book is exactly what we need today. I could hear her say every word I read.”—Jim Gaffigan

Patience and Faith

What a dream that was to listen to, since I discovered Leanne's comedy in the Netflix special I feel short-changed I hadn't come across her years ago.

But listening to her story What In The World makes me feel better! Thank-you Leanne for sharing your story and your family's lives with us fans - you always leave us wanting more!

Your tips to practice patience and faith mean a lot. Thank-you again!

Funny and Real

I loved that Leanne read this herself and it made it all the more enjoyable. She was very real about the tough times in her life and how her faith and family have seen her through. Would highly recommend this book.

Nice Easy Listen.

Nice easy listening. Good it was read by Leanne but could have been a bit more dynamic. Alot of the content wasn't new to me from her comedy shows. However it was a nice companion to my walks.

I love her

I want Leanne to be my best friend. I loved this book, I love her accent. She was good company while I cleaned my house, and I’m walking around saying ‘’What in the world’’ at everybody and everything.
