Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady
reviewed on + 53 more book reviews


This was such a great book. Anyone could love this book even if you did not grow up hearing such things as..."A lady NEVER smokes on the street", or Who in their right mind would wear anything that sparkles like that before dark? No white after Labor day and until Easter. I could go on and on, but anyone who ever had a mother or grandmother who tried in vain to make them into a southern lady is bound to appreciate this book. The book is about 3 generations of women, and all about what it is to be a lady. I can remember being a small child and having my grandmother explain to me the difference between a lady, trashy, and common. This book brought back all of those memories for me and then some. I loved it start to finish!
