When it comes to marriage, third time's the charm for Linny Taylor. She's thrilled to be on her honeymoon with Jack Avery, Willow Hill's handsome veterinarian.

Who knew women "of a certain age" could drum up so much trouble? No sooner is Linny sighing with relief at being back home than she's helping her frazzled sister with a new baby...and dealing with an unexpected legacy from her late ex. Life is fuller--and richer--than she ever imagined, but if there's one thing Linny's learned by now, it's that there's always room for another sweet surprise... "This charming and well observed novel about finding the courage to love after loss will make you smile as well as cry more than a few happy tears. Be prepared for a story of true tenderness, humor, and sometimes nail biting tension. Sweet Southern Hearts delivers all this and more." --Holly Chamberlin, author of Summer with my Sisters
