14. The Love Affair Continues
From Manhattan to Mississippi Part Two
by Daisy Karam-Read
In 2007, Daisy Karam-Read, a transplanted New
Yorker, wrote From Manhattan to Mississippi: A New
Yorker Falls in Love with the South. In this follow up,
Karam-Read continues her valentine to Mississippi,
further exploring the cultural landscape she has
come to love. Her observations on various aspects
of southern culture—from gardens, small towns,
and southern women to domestic relations, the
nuances of regional etiquette and southern wis-
dom—are refreshing and perceptive. Her fresh
perspective on Mississippi and its neighboring
states makes these delightful essays invaluable.

From Manhattan to Mississippi
A New Yorker Falls in Love with the South
by Daisy Karam-Read
In this insightful collection of essays, author Daisy
Karam-Read shares personal stories about life in
Mississippi and the Deep South. Her surprising discover-
ies shed light on many of the positive aspects that are so
seldom revealed.
“This book is really a love letter to her new home, her
impressions 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.
