false 2336101 7 Sarah Walters is a less-than-perfect debutante. She tries hard to follow the time-honored customs of the Charleston Camellia Society, as her mother and grandmother did, standing up straight in cotillion class and attending lectures about all the things that Camellias <I>don't </I>do. (Like ride with boys in pickup trucks.) But Sarah can't quite ignore the barbarism just beneath all that propriety, and as soon as she can she decamps South Carolina for a life in New York City. There, she and her fellow displaced Southern friends try to make sense of city sophistication, to understand how much of their training applies to real life, and how much to the strange and rarefied world they've left behind. When life's complications become overwhelming, Sarah returns home to confront with matured eyes the motto "Once a Camellia, always a Camellia"- and to see how much fuller life can be, for good and for ill, among those who know you best. <I>Girls in Trucks</I> introduces an irresistable, sweet, and wise voice that heralds the arrival of an exciting new talent. 2559169 7 4 2008 Girls in Trucks total:1734|5:95|4:330|3:657|2:440|1:212| 1734 4858 2658 513 2 18 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 10:54:44 -0700 2008 Fri May 30 10:46:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 20 false false Mon May 26 15:43:02 -0700 2008 Mon May 26 15:47:00 -0700 2008
