Nobody teaches Southern charm quite like Phaedra Parks. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star and attorney has put her famous rules for living like a true Southern Belle into her brand-new book, ‘Secrets of the Southern Belle,’ and she met her fans face to face at a book signing at the Books-A-Million at Sugarloaf Mills in Duluth, Georgia. FreddyO was there as Phaedra — polished, poised and pretty as ever — signed copies, took pictures and schooled everybody on grace, grits and getting what you want while keeping your pearls and your poise intact.

In the book, Phaedra lays out her rules of Belle behavior — how to be prepared for anything, how to present yourself, how to work hard, pray hard and look fabulous doing it. It is equal parts etiquette guide, comedy and real talk from a Georgia girl who built a career in the courtroom, on reality TV and everywhere in between. At the signing, she shared some of her favorite lessons with the crowd, including her first rule about always being prepared, delivered with that quick Phaedra wit that RHOA fans know and love. The line of supporters wrapped around with books in hand, and Phaedra took her time with every single one.

Between Housewives, her law practice, her funeral home business, two little boys and now author on her resume, Phaedra is proving that a Southern Belle can truly do it all — and do it in heels. Fans who showed up in Duluth got more than an autograph; they got a master class in confidence from a woman who lives her brand out loud. If you have not picked up your copy of ‘Secrets of the Southern Belle’ yet, get into it — class is officially in session, and Professor Parks is not playing with anybody.
