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, Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
