About the Author
Raised in Louisiana, LORAINE DESPRES brings her small-town, magnolia-sweet charm, cynical humor, and experience growing up as a daughter of the South to her irresistible debut novel, The Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc. A popular and prolific screenwriter, international writing consultant, and teacher, she has one son, David Mulholland, from a brief, early marriage. She now lives in Beverly Hills with her husband, Carleton Eastlake, who, fifteen years ago, succumbed to the charms of a Southern belle and helped her prove the truth of Rule 101: “You can’t change the past, but a smart girl won’t let that stop her.”
