This amusing essay collection focuses on the southern perspective and home life. The book is broken into three categories: "At Home", "The South", "And Everywhere Else". The contributions are lighthearted amusing and fun to read as a variety of subjects from mama tips to spiked NASA Tang to Wrestlemania are shredded and diced like slaw at a fad diet explosion. Nothing is sacred though nothing is totally gored not even Al. From family recipes to the Rock and his wife Dr. Ms. Rock on to Adam West, Celia Rivenbark provides the below the Mason-Dixon demarcation line but above the Mickey Mouse border look at life. If you have to ask who Adam West is, you're probably too young for this sassy slice of Southern sympathy served with ice tea but no grits.
