Sarah Walters is a debutante and member of the Charleston Camellia Society as were her mother and grandmother. She attends cotillion class where she learns how to behave like a lady. Behavior which includes not being seen in inappropriate places but not reporting essentially getting raped in a coat closet by the boys in the class.
She cant stand the supposed propriety of Southern society and heads for New York for college and vows to never return. While there, she has to adjust to life in the north -- not wearing skirts and the cold seem to be the biggest challenges and make her own decisions about where her life is going.
I didnt find Sarah to be a likeable protagonist. She constantly makes bad choices, especially when it comes to sex and drugs. Rebelling against her roots is making her life worse not better.
Eventually she ends up back in Charleston, pregnant with the child of a man who was essentially a one-night stand and a mother who has decided to embrace a lesbian lifestyle.
Its not a face-paced book, but I enjoyed it.
