My Thoughts:

Among The Fair Magnolias is a collection of four Southern love stories written by four of the most gifted authors in the Historical Fiction genre.  Each with their own unique flair...Love, Gray, Musser and Alexander...capture the era and Southern culture with expert story telling skill and description.  The characters in each novella are genuine and their stories are easy to get lost in.  Each author inserts her own style while delivering a delightful read full of romance, intrigue of the era and faith.  If you are looking for the perfect Summer's end read, this book will satisfy.
