The Magnolias was a place where a brazen Southern society could forget their sinful pasts by living in great opulence and decadence. Here all that was glittering and glamorous collided with the harsh and depraved. Here Jeannie Fleming came to escape from her demanding and too-vigilant guardian who asked only for her innocence, her willingness, in the satisfaction of his lust. Jeannie was to discover, though, that the world into which she had escaped was sin itself; her past was innocent compared to what she discovered at The Magnolias.
