Searcy Roberts grew up in small town Alabama and when she married her high school sweetheart, Alton, moved to Atlanta and enjoyed the unlimited funds that his successful career brought them, she swore she would never go back. Living the dream of having a personal shopper, a doorman to carry her bags, and expensive lunches out, you can imagine Searcy’s surprise when Alton says he wants out.

Out?

Suddenly Alton seems to be having a midlife crisis.  He decides he does not want his job anymore, is cancelling credit cards, and filing for divorce.  He tells Searcy that their apartment will be leased out within the month and he will help her relocate wherever she decides, within means.  And then he leaves.

Searcy is shell-shocked.  Her beautiful clothes!  Her unlimited credit.  Her husband who she does truly love!

Unsure of what her next move should be, a timely phone call from her mother asking her to come home and help out with the family business, Pie Girls, is what normally Searcy would say no to, however considering the circumstances, maybe a get away is exactly what she needs.

 

 

Pie Girls is a sweet (pun intended) chick lit read that I really enjoyed.  Ceecee is an interesting protagonist with a high-class attitude that changes throughout the book as her life as she knows it crumbles before her eyes.  I absolutely loved the southern twang of narrator Mary Hollis Inboden, she made the audio fun to listen to!  Jobe Cerny is also on this audio as the voices for the men, an interesting fact about Jobe is that he is most known for his role as the voice of the Pillsbury Dough Boy (although there were no “Dough Boy” voices in this book  😉  )
