Finally free from her mother&#8217;s demanding presence, this transplanted Yankee is finding herself for the first time, courtesy of the Deep South. And, much to her surprise, she likes it. <br><br>A former International Dogwood Festival Queen, Donna Kabel once had cute male suitors chase her like hounds to the fox. But all that changed after a car accident left her with a huge facial scar. Now Donna works in the produce section of Kroger. But it seems that the scar that could have cost Donna her inner strength has actually spurred her to reinvent herself.<br><br>Thirty-four-year-old Suzanne Parley, the chardonnay-alcoholic wife of a fifth-generation Selby neurosurgeon named Boone, longs to have the most exquisitely decorated house in the affluent Red Hill Plantation community. Childless and directionless, Suzanne suddenly comes up with a bold plan to make her bored husband love her again: she&#8217;ll simply fake a pregnancy.<br><br>On the eve of this year&#8217;s all-important Dogwood Festival, the disparate lives of these three women will converge in a brilliant comedy of Southern manners like none other. With this funny and poignant novel, Ad Hudler joins Fannie Flagg and Adriana Trigiani as one of our best chroniclers of Southern life. 757849 26 8 2003 Southern Living (Ballantine Reader's Circle) total:31|5:9|4:9|3:10|2:2|1:1| 31 116 42 12 5 0 false false Fri May 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 12:23:36 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 09:00:27 -0700 2009
