The Magnolia League

By Katie Crouch (Hardcover Book, 2011)

When her free-spirited mother dies in a tragic accident, sixteen-year-old Alexandria Lee is forced to leave her West Coast home and move in with a wealthy grandmother she's never known in Savannah, Georgia. By birth, Alex is a rightful if unwilling member of the Magnolia League-Savannah's long-standing debutante society. But white gloves and silk gowns are a far cry from the vintage t-shirts and torn jeans shorts she's used to.

Alex is the first in decades to question the Magnolia League's intentions, yet even she becomes entangled in their seductive world. The members enjoy youth, beauty and power...but at what cost? As Alex discovers a pact between the Magnolias and the Buzzards, a legendary hoodoo family, she discovers secrets-some deadly-hidden beneath the glossy Southern veneer.

New York Times bestselling author Katie Crouch's poignant and humorous voice shines in this enchanting and mysterious story about girls growing up in a magical Southern city.

Praise for Men and Dogs:
"Prepare to have your heart broken while laughing out loud at this breathtaking, scathingly sardonic novel."
". . . as in her best-selling Girls in Trucks, she writes with a dark, twisty, but approachable Southern charm."
"A delicate and subtle novel"
"Her dialogue is snappy, the situations darkly funny, and there's just enough mystery to keep the pages turning."
Praise for Girls in Trucks:
"A charming debut novel.... A fresh, effervescent story that takes run-of-the-mill despair and instability and churns them into a memorable tale of good girls and bad choices."
"Sarah's voice is a funny, slim stiletto to the heart of friendship, desire, and love. Crouch's spare prose and sharp dialogue flay open a universal need to belong, whether to a place, a person, or your own true self."
"I was mesmerized as I watched Alex, a girl raised on a California commune, learning to navigate Savannah high society. This is a story infused with romance and dark magic, and I couldn't put it down. I'm a huge Katie Crouch fan, and this book will make you one, too." (Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Gods in Alabama and Backseat Saints).
"Katie Crouch's The Magnolia League is mysterious, magical, and alluring. Crouch's voice is both humorous and intense, lending itself well to the novel's darker undercurrents and its richly southern flavor." (Faria Stolarz, bestselling author of the Blue is for Nightmares series and the Touch series).
