Synopsis

From the runway of the southern beauty pageant to the runway of a commercial airline—Rosemary travels the runways of her life in search of The Truth, her Truth. What she goes through to find it, well, trust me, you’ve never gone this far with a Southern Belle before. In the process of unloading her own baggage, familiar pieces of all our lives emerge: families that influence us, roles that define us, prejudice that divides us, divorces that haunt us, and our authentic selves that save us! You’ll travel to places you recognize and others you really recognize but refuse to admit. She approaches the struggles and triumphs of the Southern Belle with humor but makes a u-turn each time she remembers how unfunny it was to be one. Ultimately, ironically, her gradual healing takes place because she was one.

Biographie de l'auteur

Rosemary takes her years of on-the-runway training as a Southern Belle and beauty-pageant winner, combines them with eighteen years as a flight attendant; shares her years of psychiatric therapy; throws in a few of her newspaper columns; draws from her years in New York as a "minority" in Harlem and comedian on New York Comedy Club stages; and adds a bit of satire from her days as a political columnist for a New York newspaper – and voilà! – you’ve got the most entertaining presentation of a gut-wrenchingly honest and dysfunctional journey ever taken through the highs and lows of a southern life!

An in-demand humorist and speaker, Rosemary takes on topics meant to be not only funny but to encourage other women (and men!) to identify the roles they have been assigned, the diagnoses they have been given, and the oppression they experience--and to reject them all as they remake themselves on their own terms.
