Southern Exposure: A Few Random, Rambling, Retrospective Pieces of My Life

In Southern Exposure, Amber Lanier Nagle explores the objects and memories binding her to her childhood, her loved ones, and her beloved South. Through twenty-two warm, evocative stories and personal essays, Nagle marries her past and her present, and recounts a glorious childhood—a childhood immediately familiar to those of us who grew-up in Georgia in the 1960s and 1970s.

Her pitch-perfect observations and recollections range from tributes to boiled peanuts, overalls, and flat cornbread, to her experiences with chickens, to memories of her father, to her fascination of the starry, Southern sky.

A bonafide storyteller, Nagle writes with sumptuous, Southern flavor and charm, capturing the rhythms of her life with grace and artistry.
