Summary: Thoughts from a Native Texan
Review: Sophia Dembling has captured the state in a way that delights this native Texan. I have always been empathetic toward anyone facing the daunting task of figuring out this odd little world. Sophia has us all figured out, the good and the bad, and yet she still seems to like us(and we, her).Those of you moving to or new to the state, buy the book...I can't imaging how it wouldn't help ease the pain. We are a little different, but we are generally kind people (bless our hearts.) If you've been here a while, or even are a native, buy the book anyway. And take a lesson from Sophia she's been more places in this state than most of us and has truly become a student of Texas and Texana. Couldn't we all learn from that?

Summary: Waiting for the sequel
Review: The book was well-thought out and researched. It explained parts of Texas and attributes of Texans never explained publicly so well before. I recognized myself in it, I must confess. She needs to write "The Texan Guide to Yankeeland". Now that would be very useful to us 5 remaining Native Texans in the whole state.

Summary: What a GREAT read!!!
Review: This should be required reading for any Yankee Chick moving to Texas as well as any one who embraces the many cultural differences that make this country great. Ms. Dembling's insight and sharp wit had me laughing out loud many times and I don't even live in Texas or the South; I'm just a Yankee Chick living up North in Yankee land. Before reading this delightful book (which I read on a lark during a biz trip to Dallas) I had no interest in Texas, but now - hell, I think I'd like to plan a vacation there, perhaps find my self some good old boys to hang out with! Her pride in being a Yankee Chick and her love of Texas is evident throughout and it translates into a sincerity that makes this book so special. Hurry, buy this book!!!!
