Her delightful, humorous accounts always convey adeeper truth--about self-image, especially for women; about raisingchildren; about an early death in the family and the later loss of afriend; about politics and belief--about life itself. Snow Smith's ownlifetime of writing and observant living is distilled in this kind,original, and compulsively readable book." --Lee Smith, author of Fair and Tender Ladies and winner of the Robert Penn Warren Award for Fiction and the Southern Book Critics Circle Award "Katherine's ability to observe her life from the balcony while it playsout on stage is a gift to her readers.

Synopsis
Without meaning to defy society's guidelines for parenting, marriage, work and friendship, Katherine Snow Smith continually finds herself off the expected path--whether that means falling on President Barack Obama, camped with her teenage daughter at a raucous music festival, or ending a twenty-four-year marriage because she simply can't "muddle through." Here, she shines a spotlight on the humor and humanity that come with sometimes breaking the rules., Southern women are inundated with rules starting early--from alwayswearing sensible shoes to never talking about death to the dying, andcertainly not relying on song lyrics for marriage therapy. Nevertheless, Katherine Snow Smith keeps doing things like falling offher high heels onto President Barack Obama, gaining dubious status asthe middle school "lice mom," and finding confirmation in the lyrics ofMiranda Lambert after her twenty-four-year marriage ends. Somehow,despite never meaning to defy Southern expectations for parenting,marriage, work, and friendship, Smith has found herself doing just thatfor over four decades. Luckily for everyone, the outcome of these"broken rules" is this collection of refreshing stories, filled withvulnerability, humor, and insight, sharing how she received lifelongadvice from a sixth-grade correspondence with an Oscar-winning actress,convinced a terminally ill friend to write good-bye letters, and won themother of all "don't give up" lectures by finishing a road race last(as the pizza boxes were thrown away). Rules for the Southern Rule Breaker will resonate with everywoman, southern or not, who has a tendency to wander down the hazy sideroads and realizes the rewards that come from listening to the pull inone's heart over the voice in one's head., Southern women are inundated with rules starting early--from always wearing sensible shoes to never talking about death to the dying, and certainly not relying on song lyrics for marriage therapy.

- 0***1 (1574)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThis book arrived within the time period given and was in the 'very good' condition described. Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
