Meet the New York socialite who's about to join #RHONY.

5. Her Novel Covers Living a Sophisticated Lifestyle
Tinsley authored Southern Charm (and no, not the Southern Charm you might be thinking of) in 2012. The novel follows a Southern belle who takes on New York and the challenges that comes with such a big transition.
