Reviews for The Southerner's Y'allmanac: A Compendium of Wit & Wisdom for All Seasons

""The South is not a foreign country, but it does warrant a guidebook for understanding the eccentric lore and customs of our kingdom. This is the one to keep handy for all the lovers of Southern."" — Erin Napier, star of HGTV’s Home Town and Home Town Takeover and Mississippi native “Southerners put a lot of care and thought into everything they do and Rachel has captured these meaningful efforts beautifully in The Southerner’s Yallmanac. Whether you are searching for inspiration for a new tradition or feeling sentimental for the Southern celebrations you grew up with, this book will inspire!” — Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, Dallas-based author and lifestyle expert “This is an essential read for anyone who lives in the South or has a deep appreciation for Southern food, culture, and style. As someone passionate about design, I especially enjoyed the glimpse into so many beautifully curated Southern homes—from the Texas Hill Country to the Carolina Lowcountry and everywhere in between.” —Paloma Contreras, Texas-based designer
