Wedded to a Fortune

Heatherly Bell was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama but lost her accent by the time she was two. Her grandmother, Mima, kept the both the accent and spirit of the southern woman alive for decades. After leaving Alabama, Heatherly lived with her family in both Puerto Rico and Maryland before being transplanted kicking and screaming to the California Bay Area. She now loves it here, she swears. Except the traffic.
