Bless Your Heart, Tramp‪!‬

From the wickedly witty pen of the New York Times–bestselling Southern humorist comes a "hilarious—and right on the money" collection of essays (The Charlotte Observer).

Step into the wacky world of "womanless wedding" fund-raisers, in which Bubbas wear boas. Meet two sisters who fight rural boredom by washing Budweiser cans and cutting them into pieces to make clothing. Learn why the word snow sends any right-thinking Southerner careening to the Food Lion for extra loaves of bread and little else.

Humor columnist and slightly crazed belle-by-birth Celia Rivenbark tackles these and other lard-laden subjects in Bless Your Heart, Tramp!, a hilarious look at Southern—and just plain human—foibles, up-close and personal.

So pour yourself a glass of sweet tea and curl up on the pie-azza with Bless Your Heart, Tramp!.

"Bright, witty, and warm." —St. Petersburg Times

"Just when you think Erma Bombeck strip-mined the comedy out of motherhood, Rivenbark shows off some sparkling new gems." —The State (Columbia , SC)

"Rivenbark's observations are quirky and entertaining but rarely scathing; her pride in being a belle is tempered by her ability to take a lighthearted look at serious and occasionally provocative issues." —Library Journal
