All Things Southern

 Being a native Southerner born and raised in the State of Georgia I learned at a very early age to appreciate all things southern. We are a laid back, slow talking culture. Now for those of you who think because we are laid back and slow talking that we are not the brightest crayons in the box, think again. Some of the greatest minds have come out of the south. But that is another topic for another day. The topic today is about a wonderful Southern author who was born and raised in the great state of Mississippi.  

  Patricia Neely- Dorsey has taken her roots and planted them in two wonderful little books of Poetry and musings. She brings the south out in the open in a way anyone can appreciate. The soft southern nights filled with lightening bugs and crikets, the Sunday morning worship services, the lingering smell of Magnolia Blossoms. The strong contenance of southern women and the lazy summer afternoons. 

Patrica Neely- Dorsey

 Her books:

Take her reader down that lazy river, under that shade tree with a long cold glass of sweet tea, makes the reader crave fried chicken, homemade biscuits, gravy and creamy mashed potatoes. She has the reader longing for family reunions and hugs from the parents. Ms. Dorsey brings the south to the reader in such a way that even if you are not born and bred there, you will find yourself wanting to go there. She makes southerners who have left there want to go back to their roots. To the place of laid back days, quiet moments under the trees with family and friends and that glass of cold sweet tea.

Ms. Dorsey has captured the south in such a way that it stays with you long after the last page is read.
