(TM) She travels the country sharing her sweet tea wisdom and Southern fried humor."Jane Jenkins Herlong's blend of Southern humor and folksy wisdom is just priceless. She deserves to be right up there with Anita Renfroe and Chonda Pierce-in some ways, she's even better. The more suburban and bland our culture gets, the more precious genuine Southern culture like this becomes."
