AGE BEFORE BEAUTY”                                        by Virginia Smith

Review #39 

Allie Harrod has always been an independent woman and insists on working to pay “her share” of the bills. She considers herself a career woman and she's determined not to let having a husband or a baby change that, no matter how much she wants to be at home with her 8-week old daughter. When Allie sees an opportunity to work at home, she takes it.

She signs on with a home party company and dives in, head first. But the pressures of launching a business (and the expense), her mother-in-law's unexpected extended visit, her husband's moodiness and personal attention to a coworker, and her inability to control her eating habits take their toll. Before long, things start falling apart and her marriage is in peril. If she’s not careful, she’ll lose the very things she's been trying to hold on to.

Although light and humorous in tone, the issues Allie faces are real and they are dealt with in a real way, as are the subplots in the novel.

This is the second book in Ginny’s “Sister to Sister” series.
I have already read and reviewed the first and third books of the trilogy.

I like this one too!
