Unbecoming Behavior

A Southern Memoir of Adventurous Choices

These adventures offered Akasha Halsey new insights, cultural appreciation, and awe at so many ways of living. All her experiences created a masterpiece of education for a woman trying to find her place in the world.

A Southern girl with a suitcase and no interest in living a conventional life.
