From Azaleas to Zydeco: My 4,600 Mile Journey through the South follows Mark on his own quest to discover the essence of the South. Not wanting to be a tourist, Mark digs into the food, the people, and the culture of each place he visits. He eats dandelion salad, drinks Cheerwine soda, and listens to swamp rock. But most important are the people he meets: bee keepers, cheese makers, crawfish “bawlers,” duck callers, politicians, struggling musicians, a fashion mogul, and even a MacArthur Foundation genius grant winner. Mark discovers that although the South has changed mightily in the seventy-five years since Mr. Daniels toured it, the southern states remain a most distinctive region. His story embraces a wealth of southern charm, from local characters, folklore, and customs to food and music. Besides being just plain fun to read, Mark’s account of his journey gives readers a true taste of the evolving South.
