By
ajurkowitz
I was raised a good ole’ Southern girl in a good ole’ Southern family. We believed that shopping and makeup could cover any wound. No matter what was happening behind closed doors, and in our life there was plenty, you never, ever showed it when those doors were open. You still fixed your hair, glued…
