Maggie Sweet's story is both sad and tender. It all starts when, just before her 20th high school reunion, Maggie's husband spends their vacation money on side-by-side cemetery plots. From there Maggie decides to re-invent herself, Southern style.
I really enjoyed this delightful story! From the time she was a little girl, Maggie Sweet has longed to become a hairdresser. But she gets married right after finishing beauty school, and it seems her life is passing her by without giving her a chance to realize her dream. Until her high school sweetheart moves back to town.....
Just wonderful!
Note: This is the paperback version. The book was re-released in hardback in 2001 and titled somply "Maggie Sweet".

An easy, fun book to read. Written in a very "southern style". The characters were realistic and relatable. Maggie's been out of high school for 20 years and has spent those years trying to please everyone else; now she is starting to wonder why. The story was well told and fast paced. Great light reading for the beach or vacation.
