A fond, funny Southern-fried memoir about growing up a proper young lady...or not.

From tea parties to teased hair to where to hide mini bottles of liquor inside poufy crinoline ballgowns, Anna reveals all-in a hilarious, behindthe-scenes glimpse into Deb Culture, where for a Southern belle, "the proof is in the pouf."

Unless, of course, she rebels...
