History repeats itself in Serenity as Ty Townsend, now a Major League baseball pitcher, returns home to recover from a serious shoulder injury, and Annie Sullivan, who has chosen to specialize in sports-injury therapy, is cajoled by her mother, Dana Sue, and the rest of the Sweet Magnolias into taking him on as a client. But Annie is still struggling with Ty’s multiple casual infidelities when they were dating, the resultant child, and its irresponsible mother’s continuing position in Ty’s life. It’s especially disturbing, given her own family history, including her parents’ divorce and her own life-threatening anorexia. Woods introduces an auxillary contemporary romance trilogy featuring the next generation of Magnolias, Annie and her two closest friends. Woods’ readers will eagerly anticipate her trademark small-town setting, loyal friendships, and honorable mentors as they meet new characters and reconnect with familiar ones in this heartwarming tale. --Lynne Welch
