As a transplanted Yankee now living south of the Mason-Dixon line, I have fallen completely in love with Southern culture. Have you ever tried to explain to people living up north what is the absolute charm and appeal of living in the South? Well, Yankees normally don't get it. Until now, I had to rely on my own powers of persuasion, but no longer! I can just send them a copy of this wonderfully written, funny, and insightful book and let Shellie Tomlinson explain it all for me! The book follows an autobiographical format to cover every topic of life in the South: growing up Southern, finding Mr. Right, Keeping the Fires of Love alive, Raising Children, Keeping Your Looks, Growning Old Gracefully, and Having Good Manners, to name a few topics, all written from the perspective of what a Southern mama would teach her daughter. At the back of each chapter are some authentic and delicious Southern recipes to try. If you are a dyed-in-the-wool Yankee, bless your heart, you will most likely NOT understand the humor of this book. If you are Southerner or a Southern sympathizer, you will frequently bust out laughing while reading it and will want to buy numerous copies to send to your friends! When you are finished reading this book, I predict that you will yourself wish that you had been raised by a GEN-U-INE Southern mama. I swanee!Read full review
