Publisher's summary

Lifestyle pioneer and bestselling author Debbie Travis is back with a book of ridiculously funny, touching, and true stories drawn from her own life and dedicated to everyone in desperate need of a good laugh.

A decade ago, Debbie Travis gave up her hectic life as the producer and star of several hit TV shows to move to a 13th-century crumbling farmhouse and vast olive orchard in Tuscany, which she and her husband then turned into the boutique hotel and wellness retreat. That was a big change in direction—and Debbie’s shared the best of what she learned on that journey in two bestselling books full of humane, heartfelt, and sensible advice on pursuing your true passion (Design Your Next Chapter) and making room for happiness, health, and connection (Joy: Life Lessons from a Tuscan Villa).

Now, in Laugh More, Debbie digs down to what really keeps her going, especially when the going gets tough: her talent for telling a good story and sharing a good laugh. Organizing them around the passing of the seasons at the Villa Reniella, Debbie gathers up a brilliant mix of stories from her daily life and from her past—growing up headstrong in a struggling family in northern England (her mum perfected dog-food shepherd’s pie), travelling the world as a model (not so glamorous), becoming one of the first home renovation TV stars (by the seat of her overalls) and encountering the famous and the delightful (especially her wicked and wonderful grandmother, Joyce).

Snortingly funny, poignant, inspirational, and full of the human foibles Debbie loves so much, Laugh More is a warm and cozy book to curl up with, and even better to listen to. And since memories are so often ignited by great eating, Debbie has added a bonus: fifteen of her favorite, seasonal recipes.

Critic reviews

Laugh More—in the happy company of Debbie Travis, you will! Her story celebrates the seasons of a year in Tuscany, folding in memories of her poignant childhood and early losses in the north of England, her hilarious years of modeling, and her time as a young mother also determined to forge a career in television. Here, this funny, powerful, creative woman is in full bloom—and Italy proves to be a perfect match for her high spirits and humour. Laugh More? Yes, let’s.” —Frances Mayes, author of Under the Tuscan Sun
