Backroads Boss Lady isn't a business book. It's real life,
real emotion, and real inspiration for all women. Jessi Roberts proves once
again that success isn't about money, it's about honesty, friendship, hard
work, loyalty, and loving where you live, even when-or maybe especially
when-times are hard. Those are lessons all of us can use every day."—Vicki Myron, #1 New York
Times bestselling author of Dewey

Happiness Ain't a Side HustleStraight Talk on Creating the Life You Deserve
Discover life and business tips from Cheekys’s founder, who survived a devastating childhood and turned her tiny Idaho shop into a multi-million dollar brand, in this “manifesto on how to do everything from overcome haters to persevere in business” (Lee Woodruff, #1 bestselling author).
New Plymouth, Idaho. Population 1536. It doesn’t look like much from Rural Route 30, but it was here, in this quiet town, that a mother of four faced down her hard past, poverty, self-doubt, and a reluctant customer base. And she created something unexpected: a multi-million dollar FRBR (For Rural, By Rural) business empire.
Her name is Jessi Roberts, and the business is Cheekys, which started with 6 purses and a tanning bed. Now in her book, Jessi shows how she grew one small store hurdle-by-hurdle into a national clothing and accessories brand with a 1.5 million strong community. Best of all, she did it by standing tall for her values: always be kind, lift up the next gal, and treat employees and customers like family.
More than a business book, BACKROADS BOSS LADY is about embracing your passion even when others don’t see value in it–or you-and about putting food on the table and believing in yourself. Brimming with authenticity, it gives the warts-and-all, love-it-despite-it skinny on rural life, community, and contentment without compromise.
