Ellis may have left her home in Alabama, married a New Yorker, forgotten how to drive, and abandoned the puffy headbands of her youth, but she clings to her Southern accent like mayonnaise to white bread. In this collection of essays, Ellis offers readers a hilarious, completely singular view on womanhood for both sides of the Mason-Dixon. -- adapted from back cover
