There are no holds barred in Be Ready When the Luck Happens. Garten details her tough childhood, which she describes as "a cycle of neglect and abuse." Garten was in a much different career field before her Food Network stardom, working as a bureaucrat in Washington D.C.. Garten recounts the day she saw an ad for a specialty food store, The Barefoot Contessa, in a town she'd never even visited. With the support of her husband, Jeffrey, her life was forever changed when they purchased the shop in Westhampton Beach.

Learn about these early years to the present day by preordering your copy of Be Ready When the Luck Happens today. Another New York Times best-selling author Ann Patchett called the book, "a wildly entertaining and compulsively readable story about curiosity and courage."

Depending on your reading preferences, the book is available in paperback, hardcover, e-book and audiobook formats. As a bonus, the audiobook is narrated by Garten herself.
