Publisher Comments:

When outrageous Hollywood actress, Juliette Cadbury, decides to make a controversial movie in the historic Southern town of Fort Rosalie, Mississippi, all genteel hell breaks loose. Bed and Breakfast owners get into the act to offer their houses for accommodations, while a local ladies group organizes a protest against the "Hollywood Morality" of the actress and her live-in boyfriend.<P>Trying to keep the peace in all of this is, Mary Dell Hoskins, a Fort Rosalie Tourist Bureau Executive who has her hands full during Juliette Cadbury's inspection tour of the three bed and breakfasts bidding to host the location shoot.<P>It's Deep South hospitality versus the Hollywood fast-lane in this hilarious tale of eccentric personalities and their quirky behaviors, blended with thought-provoking insights into such subjects as political correctness, male-female politics, and the burdens of Southern history.
