Stop Dressing Your Six-Year-Old Like a Skank

Celia’s back, and she’s pissed! In her newest collection of essays, Celia takes on baristas (“It’s America, call ‘em what they are, COUNTER HELP”), the Cruise/Holmes pod baby, skanky kids clothes and how to make sure your precious child gets a seat at the Disney character breakfast (or you’ll risk eating chicken out of a bucket with Sneezy). While Celia had rather walk on her lips than say something mean, she doesn’t mind WRITING plenty of mean stuff. Dig in; it’s delish.

We're Just Like You, Only Prettier

Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA) Non-Fiction Book of the Year

 

"Rivenbark follows up her 2000 bestseller, Bless Your Heart, Tramp with another collection of hysterical essays about life, Southern style. Tales of marriage and family, a faulty Christmas toy, and a day at the spa are recounted in regional vernacular (with curses galore). Even the chapter titles will give you the giggles." ~ New York Daily News

Bless Your Heart, Tramp

 

Step into the wacky world of "womanless wedding" fundraisers, in which Bubbas wear boas. Meet two sisters who fight rural boredom by washing Budweiser cans and cutting them into pieces to make clothing. Learn why the word "snow" sends any right-thinking Southerner careening to the Food Lion for extra loaves of white bread.

 

Celia tackles these and other lard-laden subjects in her first book, Bless your Heart, Tramp, a hilarious look at Southern - and just plain human - foibles, up-close and personal. If you're a Southerner, you'll understand. If you're not - well, God help you.
