Magnolia Wednesdays

By: Wendy Wax

Narrated by: Käthe Mazur

At 41, Vivian Armstrong Gray's life as an investigative journalist is crumbling. Humiliated after taking a bullet in her backside during an exposé, Vivi learns that she's pregnant, jobless, and very hormonal. This explains why she says "yes" to a dreadful job covering suburban living back home in Georgia, a column she must write incognito. Down South, it's her sister's ballroom dance studio that becomes her undercover spot where she learns about the local life - and where unexpected friendships develop. As she digs up her long buried roots, she starts to wonder if life inside the picket fence is really so bad after all.

Critic reviews

"An honest, realistic story of family, love, and priorities with genuine characters." ( Booklist)

It you live in the South you will enjoy it

What did you love best about Magnolia Wednesdays?

Being from the South I laughed oftened, because her tales of the way people act in the South were so true. Just a nice clean so true story line.

A Rich Demonstration of the Fallibility of Sisters Love and Angsts!

Vivian, an on-air investigative reporter for a national television network, goes into a tailspin, quitting her job in a moment of hormonal anger. She soon discovers her up and down hormonal misfires come from being pregnant. But she’s 41 and doesn’t know anything about babies. With Vivian’s long time boyfriend a popular international correspondent specializing in seeking out terrorist entrenched in Afghanistan she runs to her recently widowed sister’s home in her native South. Did I mention that her parents are a politically-correct, leading Democratic family planning a run for the Governorship? And, her mother is the living re-enactment of Charlotte O’hare in “Gone With The Wind?” Put it all into a well-written novel and I couldn’t put it down!
