Louisiana

Olivia Ferrol is a sophisticated and wealthy New Yorker, while Louisiana (Louise) Rogers is a simple country girl. They meet at the Oakdale Springs resort in North Carolina, a health resort catering to wealthy Southerners. The women become unlikely friends as neither fits in with the rest of the guests.

After Louise arrives at the resort, Olivia decided to give her a makeover. As Louise dons the latest fashions, learns etiquette, and acts like a proper lady, she becomes aware of her own shortcomings. Louise falls in love with Olivia’s brother Laurence, who believes her to be someone she’s not. Caught between two worlds, Louise’s relationships with her father, Olivia and Laurence, are tested.

Fans of "My Fair Lady" or "Clueless" will enjoy this story of friendship and love.
