Picture
One of the longest-running female syndicated columnists in the nation, Rheta Grimsley Johnson writes a weekly essay for King Features Syndicate of New York that is distributed to about 50 newspapers nationwide. Her words are, in turn, fiery or poignant, touching on people, places and life predicaments, often on subjects not found elsewhere.

A blue woman from a red state, she loves both Lucinda and Hank Williams, Daylight Savings Time, old boats and dogs, a winter whiskey by the fire and E.B. White. She is provocative and honest, and she hopes not predictable.

Along the way, readers meet Rheta’s eccentric neighbors, her friends, her three husbands, and—best of all—her dogs.
