In 2007, Daisy Karam-Read, a transplanted New Yorker, wrote From Manhattan to Mississippi: A New Yorker Falls in Love with the South. In this follow up, Karam-Read continues her valentine to Mississippi, further exploring the cultural landscape she has come to love. Her observations on various aspects of southern culture—from gardens, small towns, and southern women to domestic relations, the nuances of regional etiquette and southern wisdom—are refreshing and perceptive. Her fresh perspective on Mississippi and its neighboring states makes these delightful essays invaluable.
