"If the 'Star Spangled Banner' gives you chill bumps, Nancy French is your perfect tour guide across this great land ."
— Mary Matalin, former assistant to President George W. Bush and counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney
"Nancy French stands for everything right about red-state America: love for God, country, and Wal-Mart. She's funny, she's Southern, and she's smart. I think I'm in love! Just don't tell my wife."
-Michael Graham, radio talk show host and author of Redneck Nation: How the South Really Won the War
"A RED STATE OF MIND shows that while you can take the girl out of the South, you can't take the South out of the girl - thank goodness. Nancy French does us GRITS (Girls Raised in the South) proud!"
-Deborah Ford, author of The GRITS Guide to Life, GRITS Friends Are Forevah, and Puttin' on the GRITS
"Nancy French isn't just a piercingly funny commentator on the red/blue culture wars; she's a participant. Whether it means standing up to feminist NYU classmates about her 'male-oppression' marriage or publicly shaming her daughter's Philadelphia school board for eliminating 'under God,' Nancy injects a laugh-out-loud freshness into the tired old debate."
-Shaunti Feldhahn, nationally syndicated columnist, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and author of For Women Only: What You Need to Know About the Inner Lives of Men
"A smart, hilarious, and eye-opening story of a naive Southern girl who dares to flaunt her old-fashioned All-American values in the oh-so-hip Northeast. If you think liberals are the folks who embrace diversity and celebrate tolerance, think again."
-Michael Schefer, op-ed editor, Philadelphia Daily News
"Nancy French shows us that between red and blue there's a little gray, a lot of absurdity, and more than enough humor to keep even this blue-state girl laughing out loud all the way through the very last page."
-Jennifer O'Connell, author of Off the Record, Dress Rehearsal, and Bachelorette #1
"Conservatives and liberals alike will find something to laugh about in this smart and sassy account of one woman's yo-yo journey between red and blue states. A RED STATE OF MIND goes beyond the obvious political and religious differences to expose how the divide influences everything from chain restaurants to child rearing."
-Brenda Scott Royce, author of Monkey Love |
