" Although this book was not quite what I expected, I did enjoy it. I thought it was going to be a story poking fun at living in the South because of the title since the book cover used the word 'hilarious' in its review. Even though I did not find it to be particularly humorous, it was a good read. In this story, Elizabeth portrays a society wife who is completely dominated by her husband, Howell Whittington, his mother who runs both of their lives, and her daughter who has been spoiled by Howell. Howell is a wealthy businessman who is ruthless in his bank dealings and is constantly having affairs with other women. However, everything changes when Howe has a stroke and wakes up 6 months later completely changed in what he wants out of life and his marriage. Although Elizabeth has hoped for the things he now wants, she has been hurt so badly by him and his mother that she doesn't trust him. The humorous parts of the novel have to do with how Howe goes about trying to fix things in his life and those of others around him. Where he had never used any type of profanity before the stroke, now he finds he finds himself 'cussing' a lot to the horror of Elizabeth! This is a book that makes you feel good as you read it. "
