A Yankee Forester's Tale by Laurie Weiss - SOLD!
Sold
Relocating from New York to the Southern Baptist deep South in a two-day drive is quite the cultural shock, even if you're not a Jewish female forester. Life is different. The people are different. And while you retain the core of who you are, you also change. I had written some tales of my experiences in adapting to this new place soon after I had left it for the Northwest, and in rereading them for this book I relived many of them. As difficult as adapting to my life there was, it was also fun, amusing, and enlightening. I arrived a Jewish female Yankee forester, and left two years later with a strong southern accent and a deep understanding of a very gracious people.
