NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The author of The Potlikker Papers: A Food History of the Modern South tells his own story this time. Of growing up in a house wrecked by violence and a South haunted by racism. And of how his search for home led him to find escape and belonging through food. Until he realizes that gathering at the table is just one small step toward reckoning.

"A story for all Americans on a path to self-awareness, honesty, and love."--Wright Thompson, New York Times bestselling author of Pappyland and The Barn

In this unflinching and moving memoir, John T. Edge takes us on a quest for home in a South that has both held him close and pushed him away, as he tries and fails and tries again to rewrite the stories he inherited. Born in a house where a Confederate general took his first breath and the Lost Cause narrative was gospel, troubled by the violence he witnessed as a boy, Edge ran from his past, searching for a newer and better South. As founding director of the Southern Foodways Alliance and a contributor to newspapers and magazines, he told stories that showcased those possibilities.

In the process, Edge became one of the most visible and powerful voices in American food...until he found himself denounced by the audience he once guided, faced down the limits of his work, and returned to his origins to find himself once again. Beginning in Georgia and concluding in Mississippi, his search spans the Deep South and charts a very American story of the truth telling and soul searching it takes to love your people and your place.

My itchy scalp
Maybe I was expecting miracles, but it didn’t do as well as I thought it did. I’m still using it hoping that I was expecting too much too soon, but it’s been almost a month now and my head is still itchy and scaly.

Husband’s eczema is slowly going away
Size: 3.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
These reviews aren’t hype, the product really is that good! I didn’t think eczema could be improved by something as simple as changing to bar soap. A gentle eczema friendly one at that! My husband loved this soap immediately and he’s one of those crunchy/almond moms (lol). He uses it in the shower and he doesn’t want to share the bar with me 🤣 it smells SO good and moisturizes and cleans so well without drying. He is noticing his eczema on his hands is improving and what was red and lumpy scabbing is now smooth scabbing with almost no redness. I have it on auto buy now. I plan to use it on my sink too once I finish my bottle of liquid soap! 5 stars.
