From Booklist
Four women have written extraordinary tales of marriage and the unique cultural realities that brides and grooms face. Alers' story, "Stand-in Bride," showcases a Savannah wedding consultant who agrees to plan the wedding for a spoiled debutante and her French fiance. Gwynne Forser's tale, "Learning to Love," deals with a very self-assured African American woman who works for the United Nations. Donna Hill's novella, "Distant Lover," is the story of a female real estate deal maker. And the story by Francis Ray, "Southern Comfort," is the tale of the political fund-raiser Adrienne Summers, who is always the bridesmaid and never the bride. Romantic-at-heart readers will be swept away by the vivid storytelling showcased here. Lillian Lewis
