The Last Resort: Taking the Mississippi Cure - Willie Morris Books in Memoir and Biography
Norma Watkins
Raised under the racial segregation that kept her family's southern country hotel afloat, Norma Watkins grows up listening at doors, trying to penetrate the secrets and silences of the black help and of her parents' marriage. Groomed to be an ornament to white patriarchy, she sees herself failing at the ideal of becoming a southern lady. The Last Resort is her compelling memoir.
