Book Description
Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of the world's ritziest hotels? From dumping coffee on a white silk Gucci gown, witnessing creepy political scandals to fending off crazed-sometimes naked-socialites, one thing is for sure: it is anything but a typical college job. Ballrooms and Ugly Poodles: Semi-Tall Tales of a Palm Beach Waitress is a collection of humorous stories inspired by the author's adventures working at a five-diamond historic hotel on the shores of Palm Beach, Florida-a far cry from her humble Midwestern upbringing. The stories paint a hilarious picture of what it is like serving some of America's richest and most powerful, all while wearing Kmart loafers and a used polyester tuxedo. A true behind-the-scenes look at the glitz and glamour of Palm Beach, this book may make you pee with laughter, while also providing a unique and rarely seen perspective of the excessively wealthy. But mostly just make you pee with laughter.

Book Description
Rose and Sage Baker, 17-year-old orphan twins with more money than God, are living the good life in decadent Palm Beach, Florida. Life is grand--until their purse string-controlling grandmother is infuriated by a Vanity Fair profile of the girls' unsavory exploits. Now, they'll lose their inheritances if they don't get into ultra-selective Duke University. Enter Megan Simms, a brainy, recent Yale grad who's drowning in school debt. For $75,000 dollars -- enough to pay back her loans -- she must ensure the girls are accepted at Duke. This is no small feat, given that the twins cannot sit still longer than it takes to down a glass of Cristal. Megan is going to have to learn her Pucci from her Prada, and play by a whole different set of rules if she's going to whip these two into academic shape. Along the way, she just might discover that the twins aren't the only ones getting an education.

Book Description
Weezie A Palm Beach Story - is a book that will make you laugh and make you cry but you will never want to put it down. The darker aspects of life that are inflicted upon Weezie, her father and her son by her evil step mother are truly heart wrenching and frustrating. The suffering inflicted upon Weezie's father by the woman who should have been one person he could trust was horrific. If, at the time of his death Weezie had known about the crime of Elder Abuse this would have been handled differently. But badly advised by her attorney's no action was taken. Fraud, lies and an undisputed charge of bigamy are the sins of the step mother. But this book will not get you down. There are wonderful upbeat and laugh out loud funny stories as it covers most of Weezie's unusual life. Current reviews on Amazon.com ***** A Sharp Story of an Even Sharper Lady Louise has written an extraordinary story of an exhilarating life, but at times also tragic. One would have a heart as hard as stone not to be saddened and disheartened by the story of losing her relationship with her father. All in all a fast read with plenty of highs and lows to keep your interest. ***** Easy, breezy "Weezie" An easy and enjoyable read, this book manages to convey the author's clear sense of fun and to poke fun at social-climbing while still making plain her palpable hurt and upset over the heartbreaking way the last few years of her father's life played out. It would be hard to make up a literary villain as nasty as the vain, selfish stepmother portrayed here, and at times her spiteful antics make the reader want to scream, but through it all Ms Ford keeps her good humor intact and her boundless energy and resilience sparkle on every page. ***** What a page-turner! You will not be able to tear yourself away once you start this book, so set aside an afternoon to peer into the highs and lows of being Weezie. She's a heroine, and keeps going, when many of us would have thrown up our hands in despair. She writes with an easy, flowing style that leaves you wanting more. Weezie has already triumphed in the writing and publishing of this book. I look forward to the sequel and to learning what Weezie has in store for us in the next chapter of her life. ***** RIVETING! This story is so incredible, that I actually "called in sick" from work the day after I got it, just so I could finish it! I hope that Weezie writes another book so we all learn the truth about this evil step-mother. Highly recommend! ***** Brillant on top of fabulous I was enthralled! I especially loved all the anecdotes about PALM BEACH LOCALS!! Laugh out loud funny! Buy it, you won't be able to put it down! ***** I love a good memoir....this is an amazing life story I could not put this book down. It is written with honesty and humor amid betrayal and disappointment. I wish I had known Weezie's mother because she created a very resilient, intelligent and emotionally strong woman in the mere 15 years they had together. I hope that we will hear the end of this story. I want the wicked step mother to get what she deserves. ***** Heartbreaking and Heartwarming I found myself not wanting to turn the page to find out the next horrible thing that happened to Weezie, but the intrigue got the best of me. At one point, it seemed as though there was one or more absolutely shocking difficulty happening on every page! The step-monster is truly evil it is impossible to believe the extent she went to to make Weezie's life miserable. To know that Weezie's Dad was so poorly cared for in the end of his life was truly heartbreaking. The book makes you yearn for justice for Weezie, but you also learn that she is a true survivor and will be fine no matter what happens. I wish her the best.
