A lesbian pulp-fiction classic, set in a decadent, torrid south pulsating with barely-controlled, forbidden desires beneath its proper, rigid, and cultured veneer, back in print for the first time in over sixty years. This one is as important to the male audience as the female and is, incidentally, an excellent mystery. Tangents Magazine

Louise Belforte was born with a spoon in her mouth... and the weight of family expectations about what her life could, should, and would be. She saw herself as the complete Southerner, until she moved to New York, and became a Yankee in heart and mind. Or so she thought. Now, with one foot on either side of the Mason/Dixon line within herself, she's struggling to decide who she is...and what she wants. She returns to the South for inspiration for a new Bayou Baroque line of designer jewelry... but reunites with old friend Charis, her heady, adolescent wine, who stole the boy that Louise was going to marry. Soon, long buried secrets and passions are revealed, unleashing a rage of fury and desire that could tear Louise apart...

Bonnie Golightly (1919-1998) was from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where her father was a professor at Middle Tennessee State University. She later moved to New York, where she became a folk singer, socialite, bookseller and a prolific writer perhaps best known for losing a lawsuit that accused Truman Capote of basing Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's on her. She wrote several pulp novels (including The Wife Swappers, The Beat Girl, and Shades of Evil ) and movie novelizations, as well as some non-fiction books on LSD, the paranormal and sex.
