The paperback edition has a smaller photo gallery, but there is a bonus chapter at the end focusing on Chenoweth's Emmy Award win.

A reviewer wrote that Chenoweth's "take on life is always tempered with 'a healthy bucket of get-over-yourself', wit, wisdom, backstage insight, the values of faith and family, and plenty of euphemistically hilarious terminology that had me laughing out loud.

"[2] Another commented: "In Joni Rodgers, Chenoweth has found an ideal writer partner; not only does the book speed along at a spiffy clip, caroming through her life story with charm and humor, but it manages to always stay in character.

The book is packed like a wicker picnic basket with folksy asides, self-deprecating jokes and down-to-earth Oklahoma-girl verve.

The middle of the book covers Chenoweth's early career, including regional shows, off-Broadway and national tours; surviving on very little income; her first Broadway shows, including You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, in which she played Sally Brown and won a Tony Award; her love life; and her short lived sitcom, Kristin.
