Anna Fields, playwright and television writer, is a North Carolina gal, born and raised in Burlington. In her new memoir, "Confessions of a Rebel Debutante" (Putnam; $24.95), she recounts her Southern-belle upbringing, complete with dance instruction, cotillion classes and finishing school.
But Fields wasn't your typical debutante. Publicity for her book says it's the story of what it's like to grow up a fat kid in a small Southern town, "picking mosquito bites and catfish guts off your overalls."
Sound fun? If you'd like to enter to win a copy, leave a comment with your name, or some way to identify you -- not just "anonymous." I'll randomly choose two winners and announce the results here on Monday.

I'd like to win this book! TorynK@yahoo.com
Amazon.com says the author was born and raised in Winston Salem, NC. Which is it?
Sounds like a "winner" to me!
Sounds great. I'd like to win.
As soon as I saw the words cotillion and overalls used to describe this book, I knew it was a must read that I could completely relate to!
I'm not a Southerner, and I'm not a belle -- but still, I'd like to read this book!
Hi Anonymous,
She's definitely from Burlington. But she's appearing at a Winston-Salem bookstore Friday, April 16. Maybe that's the confusion.
Thanks for the giveaway, Pam! Who won a copy of my book?
xoxo
