"As delightful and as penetrating as Dixie herself -- onscreen and off. I
read Trying to Get to Heaven in one heavenly gulp. It was more fun than the best part of the Bible, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Little Women, and Sex and the Single Girl all rolled into one.
"Dixie carter is not only a great performer, she is a heartfelt philosopher
for our times. Her advice-cum-memoir will leave you breathless with joy.
What a woman! What a book." ~ Liz Smith
"This book is as charming as the lady herself. What a treat to read. It's
inspiring, informative, and funny. When we wonder where all the ladies have
gone, we can all point to Dixie and say, 'There's one.' At last a book that
looks at only the best in life and tells us how we can find it ourselves.
Dixie has always been one of my heroines, and when you read this book you
will know why. Hooray for Dixie!" ~ Fannie Flagg
"For a visual portrait of Dixie Carter, picture a steel magnolia munching a
buttermilk biscuit in a Balenciaga gown. For a geographical tour of the
mind and soul of the most delicious Southern belle since Holly Golightly,
this fascinating, witty, and delicious stream of consciousness fills in the
rest. If you wonder why the civilized world is already in love with the
brainy, brilliant, honey-dripping Dixie, read this vibrant memoir and you'll
join the fan club." ~ Rex Reed
"Dixie Carter's Trying To Get To Heaven: Opinions of a Tennessee Talker is Erma Bombeck meets Martha Stewart by way of Scarlett O'Hara! Carter is one of Hollywood's best known and appreciated southern ladies. In Trying To Get To Heaven she presents an enlightening, encouraging look at her life and the life any woman can have at any age and any place on the economic ladder." ~ Midwest Book Review; This text refers to the audio cassette edition of this title
"[Dixie Carter] has an opinion on just about everything -- from the inside scoop on plastic surgery to the importance of etiquette and grooming, from the
value of the family to the courage to be yourself. This book is one long
conversation that you never want to end. Photos throughout." ~ Amazon.com
