When Charlene's marriage falls apart, Julia Sugarbaker opens her home - and unknowingly, her heart. What starts as a gesture of friendship becomes something deeper in the hush of Atlanta nights, where coffee turns to conversation and admiration blooms into something neither woman can quite describe. The two women learn that love, like magnolias, can bloom without permission. Disclaimer: Julia Sugarbaker (Dixie Carter), Charlene Frazier (Jean Smart), Mary Jo Shively (Annie Potts), Suzanne Sugarbaker (Delta Burke), and Anthony (Meshach Taylor) are all characters from the show "Designing Women" and will be used in this work of fiction. While I claim no right to them as characters or actors, the story is purely mine and is written just for fun :)
