<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Celeste McHale delivers another genuine Southern story in The Sweet Smell of Magnolias and Memories. Jacey never intended to to settle down; but when the man of her dreams resurfaces, she must find out if she has the courage to finally fall in love.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>A Southern novel full of friendships and finding love.</strong></p><p><em>"There's no time," Colin said. "You have to go. Find me, call me . . ."</em></p><p>Jacey and Colin shared the three most intense days of their lives together, waiting for help as Mississippi floodwaters surrounded them. Jacey knew Colin was the love of her life--until her rescue boat went under water, along with Colin's last name and pieces of Jacey's memory.</p><p><em>The last thing she remembered was being submerged in water. Again.</em></p><p>As Jacey walks down the aisle as the maid of honor in her friend's wedding a year later, the last person she expects to see is Colin. The biggest surprise, though, is that the man of her dreams is not wearing jeans and flip-flops as he did when he held her through those long nights of the flood. He's the preacher.</p><p>As Jacey's memories come flooding back, it's almost more than she can take. The fate of the young family trapped with them haunts her. The unwavering honesty--and support--of her best friend Georgia forces her to take a fresh look at herself.</p><p>She's spent her life afraid of love. But a flood is opening Jacey's heart in the most unexpected ways.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'McHale has a way of creating characters who are believably flawed and human.
