Informationen zum Autor Loraine Despres is the author of the bestselling novel The Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc and its tie-in title, The Southern Belle's Handbook . Raised in Amite, Louisiana, Despres is a former television writer and international screenwriting consultant. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and continues to enjoy bad behavior. Zusammenfassung The year is 1920, prohibition is in full swing, women are clamoring for the vote, and a narrow-minded intolerance is on the rise. Life isn't easy for an unmarried woman, not in a little town like Gentry, Louisiana, especially after she's sent to jail for swimming in an indecent bathing costume with a group of suffragettes. It's not as if Belle doesn't know how to behave. She knows the rules. She keeps the Primer of Propriety firmly in mind. But sometimes -- most of the time -- she has to twist the rules a little, or break them, or give them a permanent kink, because they all say the same thing: "Don't." And a girl has got to live. Sexy, sassy, with laugh-out-loud humor and a cast of zany characters you won't be able to forget, The Bad Behavior of Belle Cantrell is a big comic love story and a page-turner. But on a deeper level, this is a story about a woman struggling to find her moral center and to stand up to the forces that are determined to destroy the soul of a town and the people she loves.
