  • "Emotions run high when the Sweet Magnolias try to reunite a couple who was meant to be together in this classic from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods When an eating disorder threatens the life of chef Dana Sue Sullivan's teenage daughter, she has no choice but to bring Annie's cheating dad back to Serenity, South Carolina. She tells herself and her friends it's all about Annie, but the sad truth is she has a boatload of unresolved feelings of her own for Ronnie Sullivan. From the moment Ronnie hits town, there's no question about his intentions. He's there for his daughter, to be sure, but he wants Dana Sue back, and every move he makes is designed to prove he's a changed man. The one thing that's never changed, though, are the sparks that fly whenever the two of them are in the same room. Dana Sue can deny all she wants that Ronnie's the only man for her, but not a single person in town is buying it. No matter the circumstances, Ronnie's return is a sweet recipe for a new beginning."@en
  • "After a one-night stand shatters her family, things go from bad to worse. Yet when her anorexic daughter, Annie, nearly dies, Dana Sue reluctantly appeals to the one person who might be able to help, her cheating ex, Ronnie, who wants more than anything to return to his family."@en
  • "Dana Sue might run the best little restaurant in Serenity, but when you're feeding a small town of neighbors, busybodies and best friends, things can get a bit hot in the kitchen. Never mind that she's putting on too many pounds (an occupational hazard for a chef)-she's worried about her too-skinny teenage daughter, Annie, who has been slowly starving herself since the loud, suitcase-tossing, name-calling fit on her front lawn that left Dana Sue minus one cheating husband. But sometimes life picks strange ways to mend fences. When Annie lands in the hospital, Dana Sue reaches out to the man she loves to hate: Ron, the husband who took her heart when she tossed him out. Ron is still Annie's white knight, even if he's decidedly more tarnished in Dana Sue's eyes. But he still looks good enough to eat, and maybe, just maybe, to forgive. Once, Ron made the mistake of letting go without a proper fight. But now Dana Sue is about to get another taste of sweet devotion from a man tired of feeling like a fool, hungry for that slice of heaven he found with her."@en
  • "Dana Sue is still recovering from her husband's infidelity, and that, coupled with trying to effectively parent her possibly anorexic teen daughter, run her own restaurant, and support her friends through their own midlife crises, has allowed her to deny own health issues. But when Annie has a heart attack because she is not eating, Dana's ex, Ronnie, is there to help, claiming that he is back for good and pushing her to get her life and health back in order. The second in Woods' Sweet Magnolias trilogy adeptly focuses on the collateral damage suffered by children of divorce, as well as its principals, while also compassionately but clear-sightedly addressing the eating disorders suffered by young and old in times of stress. Woods employs her signature elements--the southern small-town atmosphere, the supportive network of friends and family, and the heartwarming romance-to great effect, building toward the next novel."
