Rogers, an accomplished journalist, profiles in her revealing essays some of the regions' best cooks. She introduces us to farm families, immigrants, and new Southerners -- everyday people who add flavor and variety to life in the Carolinas.

Thoughtful, sensual, and passionate, Comfort Food for Breakups muses on the ways in which food intersects with a nexus of hungers: for intimacy, for family, for home. Marusya Bociurkiw is a filmmaker and the author of three previous books.
