SWAG started as a lark when Thompson began a monthly mailing of her humorous essays about ordinary events from a Southern woman"s perspective. Over several years, her subscription list grew to nearly 5,000 people in 28 states. Covering topics that range from swimsuit shopping, to family reunions, to squirrel battles, to sick children, to cemetery etiquette, this volume will fit right alongside the Sweet Potato Queens and the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.
