Slightly South of Simple (Peachtree Bluff #1)

Why? I have enjoyed all of Kristy Woodson Harvey's previous books and so of course I would read this one too.
Plot Ansley has three daughters who for all different reasons return home to Peachtree Bluff. Ansley herself (mother) has quite a back story and that is all revealed as the story progresses. The story is told from Ansley's and daughter Caroline's point of view. Caroline is deciding what to do as her husband has been unfaithful in a spectacular way. She is very pregnant and has an older daughter of about ten - Viki. Ansley has been dealt a hard card in life but the way she has picked herself up and looked after everyone is outstanding. There is a little plot twist that turns things somewhat as well.
What Appeals to me?
I loved the setting of course and the sisters relationship with each other was a drawcard. Each of the main characters is dealing with difficulties that are definitely quite south of simple! I did like too how Caroline grew as a character. Also that the characters each had their quirks and challenges. I just wish Ansley would think of herself just a little bit more.
And so... I see this is #1 in the Peachtree Bluff series so I am looking forward to catching up with this family in the future.
