“As she drove the Trace, each curve revealing a scene rich with life and as picturesque as illustrations from a children’s book, Anna was struck again by the beauty of the state. Over her years as a Yankee and a Westerner, she’d heard Mississippi described many ways. Beautiful had never been one of them.”

—Nevada Barr, Deep South
