Lowe has hit her stride.” —Kristy Woodson Harvey, USA Today bestselling author of Feels Like Falling

T. I. writes with amazing grace and beautifully depicts the cost of keeping secrets when help might be available. This story is filled with rich, lovable characters, each rendered with profound compassion. Austin is an admirable young woman—flawed, but faithful to her family—and Vance Cumberland is another Michael Hosea, offering unconditional, lifelong love. Under the Magnolias is sure to delight and inspire.” —Francine Rivers, New York Times bestselling author
