About the Author
What People are Saying About This
“I love all things Southern, so I guess that’s one of the reasons I love Julia Fowler. In her delightful new book Embrace Your Southern, Sugar!, Julia explains that whether you are comin’ or goin’ (baby showers for those comin’, funerals for those goin’, and football games for those in between) all are big deals in the South (and honest to goodness, South Eastern Conference football demands that everything be scheduled around those dang Saturday games . . . and if you don’t believe me, just ask my husband, Carl). I will always love the South and I will always love Julia Fowler. Now go buy this book and get ready to feel somethin' Southern!”
“It’s safe to say I know a little something about what constitutes Southern charm and this book has it in spades. Southerners by nature are an exotic and eccentric breed with their own expressive language and Julia Fowler is the translator in chief! You’ll be able to speak Southern after reading this warm, funny, and endearing book.”
”Julia Fowler and I are Gaffney, SC soul sisters cut from the same cloth! There is nothing more lovely, gracious or warm than cozying up with Julia's book. You’ll be reading with a smile on your face.”
“I grew up first-generation Southern with German parents. There’s nothing like a plate of sauerbraten, spätzle, and pecan pie to fill you up. If I could have enjoyed all the true Southern dishes in Julia Fowler’s book, life sure would have been a whole lot sweeter.”
“Funny, wise, and uncompromisingly country, Julia Fowler's Embrace Your Southern, Sugar! is a great excuse to ‘put your sittin' britches on.’ When Julia writes, ‘My favorite sound is laughter,’ I only wish she could hear the howls from readers over this treasury of Southern humor, particularly when they hit the chapter explaining the difference between redneck lite, redneck-prone and full-fledged redneck. Reading this book is like having a soul-nourishing porch visit with the kind of friend who knows ‘It's hard to be upset when you're eating a devilled egg.’ Preach, girl.”
“I didn’t realize that talking about food and cooking could make me laugh and cry at the same time until I read Embrace Your Southern, Sugar! Julia’s thoughts on Southern culture brought on a fit of laughter at ourselves and nostalgia for the people we have lost and the happiness they brought us. Most of all, Julia reaffirms our Southern pride.”
“If you have a family, a mama, or a hometown, you’ll love the wit, wisdom, and heart of Embrace Your Southern, Sugar! Julia Fowler takes us home in a way only a Southern woman can. Not Southern born? Well, step right up: reading this book is like taking a much-needed vacation to a place of soft warmth, heart-lifting humor, and welcoming arms.”
“Oh my Lord! Julia Fowler’s new book brought back so many memories. I could relate to so much, she had me laughing and crying. I tell you, this gal speaks the truth! I loved it so much I even read it aloud to my mama, who misted up as her own childhood memories came flooding back. Being a Southerner is a gift from God, always to be treasured as a sacred thing. Thank you, Julia, for reminding me of this and for sharing this knowledge with all the poor unfortunates who sadly never had the privilege of growing up Southern.”
“Julia hit the nail on the head with her latest knee slappin’, laugh-out-loud, charming, page-turner of a book. Being from Atlanta, Georgia, I can’t disagree that our goodbyes take longer than a Sunday church sermon, and turning down seconds to any home-cooked meal is considered disrespectful. I absolutely love that Julia shared her favorite Southern recipes because I now reside in Los Angeles, “and when I can’t get back home, I [also] eat home!” This book certainly delivers if you want to get to know all about Southern ways, sayings, and recipes to take over the planet.”
