Nan Graham is as Southern as black-eyed peas, scuppernong wine, she-crab soup, Crimson Tide tailgating and a dog with ticks.  She is so relentlessly Southern she makes me feel that I was born in Minnesota and Bailey White in Ohio!
--Pat Conroy, author of Beach Music and The Prince of Tides

Make no mistake: Nan Graham doesn't forget anything...From her hilarious memory of a sex-ed class featuring dancing sperms wearing top hats and spats to her sweetly funny conversations with her young granddaughter to the miracle of Sydney, the potty-trained Persian, Nan hoards these moments like the last dish of banana pudding.  Now, lucky for us, she's willing to share.  In a Magnolia Minute is delicious!
--Celia Rivenbark, author of We're Just Like You, Only Prettier and Bless Your Heart, Tramp


Among listeners of public radio in coastal North Carolina, lifelong Southerner Nan Graham needs no introduction.  Her first book, Turn South at the Next Magnolia, brought her even more happy fans.  Her latest, In a Magnolia Minute, is sure to win her further praise as a Southern humorist.  Here, you'll meet the southerner who relishes a spoonful of Vicks VapoRub for dessert and encounter crazed enthusiasts in a stampede at a fern sale.  And that doesn't begin to account for the day Nan's finger is mistaken for bacon in a BLT, or the time her granddaughter unwittingly reveals her Scottish roots.  Take a minute with Nan Graham...guaranteed to bring Southern smiles to your day!
