GRITS (Girls Raised In The South) authors Ford and Hand maintain their down-home primer reveals "everything you need to be the beautiful belle you've always wanted to be." No matter where you're from, becoming a Grits girl requires daily practice, as well as an understanding of the basic ingredients of Grits life: style, grace, poise, manners and kindness. To this end, the authors offer "practical" instructions on setting the perfect table, recycling bridesmaid's dresses into tree skirts, sending thank-you notes and speaking like a Southerner (add syllables whenever possible). Quotes, trivia, recipes (including Dolly Parton's Favorite Meatloaf and Sun Tea, "The House Wine of the South") and knee-slapping Grits Pearls of Wisdom such as, "If you can be ready to go in less than thirty minutes, you probably shouldn't be leaving the house at all!" round out each chapter, making this handbook a welcome-and entertaining-addition to anyone aspiring to capture the unique essence of Southern women.
