Ringing Down the Belle
Frede (pronounced ?Freddy? by her friends), dyed-in-the-wool Texas belle of the richest and purest sort, is having a good day. She?s just discovered, after years of trying, that she is pregnant. Then the roof caves in.
The world of the Southern belle, replete with elegant parties and teas, is stripped bare to reveal the lies, deceptions, adultery and foolishness that go on just underneath the surface. The novel is a funny, twisted revelation of what goes on down South. If you?ve ever envied the life of a rich Southern lovely, married to a wealthy husband, dressed in fancy clothes and sporting blood bluer than a blueberry?s, this book may just change your mind.
