Description

Priscilla Slater goes to her ten-year high school reunion with equal parts dread and eager anticipation. Even though she’s a successful owner of a chain of hair salons and no longer has the mousy brown hair, crooked teeth, and discount-store wardrobe, she still feels like the ugly duckling. But when she arrives at the reunion, Priscilla soon realizes that her old classmates aren’t exactly as she remembers them. With humor and a just a touch of sassiness, Priscilla finds herself facing her own truth—and she may be surprised at what she discovers.

Advance Praise

“Ah, reunions. What is it about them that erases the years of maturity and draws us directly back to the past, complete with the hurts, friendships, and crushes we thought we left behind? Such is the stuff of novelist Debby Mayne’s fun journey to Piney Point, Mississippi, where the women get all prettied up but are forced to explore relationships that go far deeper than perfect skin or big hair. I recommend you take a seat at Priscilla’s station and keep your ears open for a juicy story or two.”—Trish Perry, author of Tea for Two and Love Finds You on Christmas Morning

Pretty Is As Pretty Does is something very different from author Debby Mayne. We haven’t seen this odd and joyous quirkiness in her characters before, and she orchestrates them beautifully. Small-town southerners abound with all the charm, humor, and sweet tea you hope for, with an unexpected twist
of sass and heart.”—Sandra D. Bricker, award-winning author of laugh-out-loud fiction, including the Emma Rae Creations series starting with Always the Baker, Never the Bride

“Anyone who has ever attended a high-school reunion—tenth, twenty-fifth, or even fiftieth—will take to this book like the proverbial duck to water. Seriously! We all go to these events thinking we’re the ugly duckling but determined to prove we’re really a graceful swan. Debby Mayne’s quirky, funny, absolutely
true-to-life characters will capture your heart and take you right along on their reunion adventures with them. You’ll love every minute of it, chuckle through every page, and hopefully come away with a fresh reminder of why high-school reunions are really much more about the future than the past.”—Kathi Macias (www.boldfiction.com), award-winning author of forty books, including her latest releases, Deliver Me From Evil and Special Delivery

“I absolutely loved Pretty Is as Pretty Does. Reminiscent of my own high-school reunion, I laughed a lot, and I’m sure I recognize some of her characters as people from my high school. Debby Mayne pens stories that bring her readers back for more. Novel Rocket and I give Pretty Is as Pretty Does a resounding recommendation.”—Ane Mulligan, Senior Editor, Novel Rocket (www.novelrocket.com)

“Debby Mayne does a wonderful job of drawing the reader into the lives of the characters from the class of 1993 at Piney Point High School. Great characters with real-life problems.”—Margaret Daley, author of Scorned Justice

“I was thoroughly entranced by this book by Debby Mayne. I’ve loved her books for a long time, but this one had so much in it that hit close to home for me. My daughter is a hairdresser, and Debby’s character hit the mark—her motives for helping women feel better about themselves, her artistry and abilities. And this book has a large cast of unique characters who display almost the whole gamut of human frailties. And the book was full of humor and pathos. I highly recommend it.”—Lena Nelson Dooley, award-winning author of Maggie’s Journey, Mary’s Blessing, Catherine’s Pursuit, and Love Finds You in Golden, New Mexico
