- "Sarah Walters knows she doesn't really fit in at the Cotillion Training School, that she'll never live up to the legacy of her mother and grandmother as a Camellia - the society for proper young Southern belles. As soon as she's out of school, Sarah and a group of friends forsake the South for the bright lights of New York City."@en
- "Sarah Walters is a less-than-perfect debutante. She tries hard to follow the time-honored customs of the Charleston Camellia Society, as her mother and grandmother did, standing up straight in cotillion class and attending lectures about all the things that Camellias don't do (like ride with boys in pickup trucks). But Sarah can't quite ignore the barbarism just beneath all that propriety, and as soon as she can she decamps South Carolina for a life in New York City. There, she and her fellow displaced Southern friends try to make sense of city sophistication, to understand how much of their training applies to real life, and how much to the strange and rarefied world they've left behind. When life's complications become overwhelming, Sarah returns home to confront with matured eyes the motto "Once a Camellia, always a Camellia"--and to see how much fuller life can be, for good and for ill, among those who know you best."
