Southern Girls ROCK!

Wonderful book full of Southern wisdom and practicality. If you're not from God's country (the South) and would love to learn more about being a Southern girl, then this is the book for you. Girls raised in the south have impeccable manners and never say bad things about Yankee reviewers...bless your heart. ;-)

Grits (Girls Raised in The South) Guide to Life

I was raised in the South in the fifties and I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this book nor have I laughed so much in a long time. My daughter gave it to me and I told her she should read it so she could understand her Southern bred Mother better. A truly wonderful read for any woman, anywhere.
