A high school reunion has a way of dragging old insecurities back into the light. For readers who love warm, funny Southern fiction with heart,
Pretty Is as Pretty Does, the first book in the Class Reunion Series, begins as Priscilla Slater heads back to Piney Point, Mississippi, torn between dread and anticipation about her ten-year reunion.
On paper, Priscilla has arrived. She owns a thriving chain of hair salons and has left behind the mousy brown hair, crooked teeth, and discount-store wardrobe of her teenage years. Inside, she still feels like the ugly duckling who never quite fit in. Then she walks into the reunion. Her old classmates are not the people she remembered, and the truth she has been avoiding turns out to be her own. With humor and a touch of sassiness, Priscilla begins to see herself and her hometown more clearly.
Set between small-town Mississippi and New York City,
Pretty Is as Pretty Does opens the Class Reunion Series with contemporary Christian women’s fiction about self-image, second looks, and the quiet work of growing up. Priscilla’s story continues in the second book, Bless Her Heart. Debby Mayne is a bestselling author of contemporary women’s fiction. She writes a relatable heroine, and the community of characters around Priscilla gives readers a place they will want to return to.
