“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 Y’allmanac. 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
“This book is a DELIGHT! I’ve lived in the South for all of my life and was surprised to find out there’s still so much I don’t know! I loved learning about the origin of Key Lime Pie (my fave), William Faulkner’s go-to green paint color (to inspire all of those beautiful words), and the fact that cotton candy was invented by a Tennessee dentist! Who knew! The blend of fascinating facts paired with seriously gorgeous photography of interiors, and tradition-building recipes, means this is a new mainstay on my heart pine coffee table!”
