Bless Your Heart

In Rhinestone, Alabama, life is full of porch swings, Sunday dinners, and the steadfast friendships of Ruby, Maude, and Opal. But as the world beyond their quiet town roils with unrest, even Magnolia Manor feels the tremors of change.

Ruby longs to preserve the peace of her family home, though her husband’s law career and their daughter’s growing independence tug her heart in new directions. Maude, never one to back down from a fight, finds herself at odds with old rivals and new responsibilities as the town rallies around a cause bigger than any one of them. And Opal, gentle, spirited, and braver than she knows, steps into the heart of a movement, marching for justice while carrying the weight of loved ones lost to war.

From kitchen table quarrels to protests on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Bless Your Heart is a heartfelt journey through laughter, loss, and the unshakable bonds of friendship. As the ninth installment of the beloved Magnolia Manor series, Wanda Jennings once again invites readers into Rhinestone’s world where ordinary women face extraordinary times, and where community, courage, and love always light the way home.
