One Day You'll Thank Me: Essays on Dating, Motherhood, and Everything in Between
The fan favorite alumna of the Bravo hit series Southern Charm offers a witty and candid collection of essays on dating, pregnancy, and parenthood.
Growing up in South Carolina with a family that goes back 10 generations, Cameran Eubanks knew from a young age that Southern women are expected to want the white picket fence life. But Cameran has never been your typical Southern belle, and she was always determined to flout expectations.
She set out to paint the town red, enjoy her single life, focus on her successful real estate career, maybe join the cast of a hugely popular reality show...and then she met her future husband, Jason. After falling in love and getting married, Cameran faced the same dilemma so many women encounter: whether or not to have kids. Ultimately, her own journey to motherhood was anything but simple.
Now, she takes you deeper into her life - from her first foray into reality TV on The Real World to dating in her 20s to the honest truth about her pregnancy and motherhood - to get to know the person behind the camera.
