Among listeners of public radio in coastal North Carolina, lifelong Southerner Nan Graham needs no introduction. Her first book, Turn South at the Next Magnolia, brought her even more happy fans. Her latest, In a Magnolia Minute, is sure to win her further praise as a Southern humorist. Here, you'll meet the Southerner who relishes a spoonful of Vicks VapoRub for dessert and encounter crazed enthusiasts in a stampede at a fern sale. And that doesn't begin to account for the day Nan's finger is mistaken for the bacon in a BLT, or the time her granddaughter unwittingly reveals her Scottish roots. Take a minute with Nan Graham...guaranteed to bring Southern smiles to your day.
