When Florence King was born, her Granny, a would-be Virginia grande dame, moved in. Anybody could have a family, writes Miss King. She wanted a race all to herself. Granny&#8217;s dream of raising the perfect Southern belle failed dismally with her own daughter, a chain-smoking, baseball-playing tomboy given to wild expletives. Florence is Granny&#8217;s last hope &#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Florence King&#8217;s laugh-out-loud memoir follows her progression from her rowdy and unconventional upbringing at home with her mismatched parents and hilarious grandmother, to finding her independence at college and her burgeoing sexuality. It&#8217;s not all laughs and there are some poignant moments that will bring tears to the eyes, but this is a feel-good book that stays with you a long time after.<\/p><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Check for it on:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/search?tag=lesbianfun-20&amp;index=books&amp;field-title=Florence King, Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?q=Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady, Florence King&#038;qid=\">Goodreads<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=bks&#038;hl=en&#038;q=Florence King, Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady\">Google Books<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n .TFtable{\n  border-collapse:collapse; <\/p>\n<p> }\n .TFtable td{ \n  spacing:10px; border:#ffffff 5px solid; padding-right:20px<\/p>\n<p> }\n \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/\n .TFtable td:nth-child(2){\n  color: #0099ff;\n }\n<\/style>\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\n<tr>\n<td>ISBN<\/td>\n<td>9781872642239<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Genre<\/td>\n<td>Autobiography\/Biography<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Copyright Date<\/td>\n<td>1985<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publication Date<\/td>\n<td>29-Mar-95<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publisher<\/td>\n<td>Silver Moon Books<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Format<\/td>\n<td>Trade Paperback<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No. of Pages<\/td>\n<td>272<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>English<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rating<\/td>\n<td>NotRated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Paper Type<\/td>\n<td>Electronic Format Available<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BookID<\/td>\n<td>2358<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florence King | Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady | Confessions Of A Failed Southern Lady.
