Confessions of a Rebel Debutante: A Cordial Invitation


Add your own review!

Overview

A delicious, laugh-out-loud funny Southern-fried memoir about growing up a proper young lady.. .or not.
A strict regimen of Southern-belle grooming should have prepared Anna Fields for a lifetime of ladylike behavior.
But it didn't.
As it turned out, Anna-a smart, outspoken, bookish girl- was a dud at debbing. After being kicked out of cotillion classes, the Rebel Deb left North Carolina to seek her fortune. Her first stop was Brown University-right in the heart of Yankee-land-and then the crazy world of Hollywood talent agencies and celebrity-packed restaurants. After a disastrous stint as Diana Ross's personal assistant, Anna headed off to the Big Apple, where she worked for one of Bravo's Real Housewives. It's a rollicking, unlikely success story from a natural-born story?teller.
Sharp, sweet, and sassy, Confessions of a Rebel Debutante proves you can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl!

Reviews

Anyone who has ever been a debutante or a rebel knows that the two involve mutually exclusive attitudes, yet Fields takes what should be an oxymoronic state of mind and makes it work for her like some crazy hybrid confection: soft on the outside, hard in the center. From childhood high jinks in a sleepy southern town where she tried but failed to achieve vaunted deb status, to becoming a soap-opera scriptwriter in the heart of demon Yankeeland, Fields chronicles a lifetime of near-miss disasters that pile up like so much roadkill. Following the lows of Brownies and boarding school with the highs of Brown University and Beverly Hills, Fields' escapades resemble a Six Flags over Georgia thrill ride as she endures further demeaning stints as Diana Ross's personal assistant and on-demand tutor to the gnarly teenage daughter of a reality TV star. Armed with her 'What would Scarlett do?' mantra, Fields shows how a rebellious southern belle can survive almost anywhere. <br> -Carol Haggas,
