Few writers have probed so deeply into the heart and soul of the South as has Frye Gaillard, and few have laid this complex region so bare for all to see and understand. In this collection of incongruous characters whose hearts are deeply rooted in what the South was, is, and could be, Gaillard again shows why the South still stirs such deep feelings and remains the nation's most fascinating region.

Some characters covered in Heart of Dixie:

Bear Bryant
Will Campbell
Billy Graham
Elvis
Emmylou Harris
Jesse Jackson
Martin Luther King, Jr.
George Wallace
Hank Williams

Reviews

“As this finely crafted collection proves once again, Frye Gaillard is a powerful writer.”
Dori Sanders, author of Clover

“Frye Gaillard is sort of a gentle giant among Southern journalists. He treads softly and carries this huge conscience; he never calls attention to himself but we always know where he stands, and he'll find something positive where all the rest of us despair.”
Hal Crowther, syndicated columnist and author of Armed and Dangerous

“Excellent. Frye Gaillard interprets the complex and diverse qualities that define the minds and temperaments of Southerners. Authentic, sensitive and knowledgeable, The Heart of Dixie enlarges understanding of our nation's most distinctive region.”
Alexander Heard, Chancellor Emeritus, Vanderbilt University
