| Introduction | A Southern writer, not because she was born in the South, but because the South was born in her; the gospel lyricism of everyday talk, the smell of sun baked red Georgia clay, the contextualized green of the landscape, the touch of frost in the winter and steam in the summer, and the taste of sweet potato pies course through her veins. |
