Publisher Description
Author Ad Hudler's books have been featured by the Doubleday Book Club and the Literary Guild. In Southern Living, Margaret Pinaldi moves to Selby, Georgia, following the death of her mother. She gets a job at the local paper to pay the bills, but she really wants to be a caterer-and bring a little garlic and arugula into the lives of the biscuit-and-grits people around her. Soon she lands the gig of all gigs-catering the Dogwood Festival-an event Selby might never recover from.

"I read this book in a day and a half. It is a real page-turner. It is set in small town Georgia and deals with the very different lives of 3 women and how they intersect. It is filled with food and cooking references so the foodie in me really enjoyed it. :) "

" Ignorant of the Southern customs, the book is funny and insightful, easy to relate to, as these crisis are present everywhere, I am surprised that the author is a man. "

" Didn't like it...found that the parody was more critical of Southerns in general. Felt like I was being laughed "at" versus laughed "with". "
