Beams from a star bathed this small town below.A barn there glowed brightly with beautiful lightBecause of a baby boy born there one night.The animals bowed.

by Daisy Karam-Read

In this insightful collection of essays, author DaisyKaram-Read shares personal stories about life inMississippi and the Deep South. Her surprising discover-ies shed light on many of the positive aspects that are soseldom revealed.

“This book is really a love letter to her new home, herimpressions of a place that she quickly came to learn has

many things going for it that New York never will. There’s nothing in this book that native Mississippians—especially those of us who were born and raised on the Gulf Coast—don’t already know about ourselves, but sometimes it takes an outsider to remind us just how special and gracious our way of life here really is.
