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
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.
