Praise for Melinda Rainey Thompson

"Reading Melinda Rainey Thompson's SWAG is like sitting on Granny's porch swing eating a piece of pound cake with a sleeping cat wrapped around your ankles. You feel full, warm, and most of all, grateful to be a Southerner."
—Celia Rivenbark, author of We're Just Like You, Only Prettier

"The author definitely hits a nerve—and tickles the funny bone—with this essay collection [SWAG]."
—December 2006 issue of Southern Living

"Thompson . . . has a knack for finding the Southern heart in ordinary life."
—The Commercial Appeal, Memphis

"SWAG is a laugh-out-loud good time. . . . Southern women's lives are full of funny accounts of 'the rules,' but none comes funnier than Melinda Rainey Thompson's collection of essays, interspersed with 'how to' notes."
—Clarion-Ledger, Clinton, Mississippi
