I loved this book set in the 40s and 50s. Sissy LeBlanc takes us back through her racey life as the high school head cheerleader going steady with the most popular high school football player and how it all falls apart. She ends up in "trouble" and marries PeeWee LeBlanc to seek revenge on his father, who the baby belongs to. The story takes place in a small south Louisiana town. We follow her life and her rules which she calls the rules of the Southern Belle's Handbook which she has borrowed from rules her grandmother has told her and Sissy modifies as they suit her situation and her needs. The characters in the story are developed well and are realistic. The story has a side line story of racisim intertwined skillfully.
