...family's driving force. Leigh Anne has made herself an interior decorator of the, shall we say, gaudier persuasion; her home, which is bigger than Tara, boasts bedroom pillows that are a riot of checks, stripes and leopard-skin patterns. Her personality is no less colorful. She struts through life with a scary assurance; she's a blond tornado, looking for people to put down, causes to champion.
