✦ Synopsis

This here is a funny place.

Some call it the Glory of God.

Some call it other.

Yes, this here is a funny place.

Twenty years ago, Charla Bennett left the small sunny island of Santos, Georgia, to have what she'd never seen: a successful husband, a luxury condominium in Chicago's Marina City, a son. Soon after Christopher's birth, the life she attained spiraled out of her grasp. She found herself divorced, broken-hearted, and alone.

Shattered, Charla returns home and is welcomed by embittered 78-year-old Aunt Eddie and sheltered Cousin Mitzi. As Charla tries to get back on her feet, secrets unravel that gives her ex-husband the alibi needed to take away her son to raise him with his "better" wife and "new" family.

In the shadows a storm brews as Mitzi makes plans to seize the coveted home that was gifted by blood and forbidden love. Deciding to take matters into her own hands, Mitzi is certain that pay-off to the island's root woman will assure that she gets what favoritism, unappreciated time, and, effort has stolen from her, even if it means sacrificing the life of family.

As family secrets unveil and by the force of preternatural island elders, Charla is required to face her shadows to reclaim the life, love and legacy that belongs to her by destiny.

Provocative, pithy, and emotionally riveting, Magnolias Bloom in May is a story of a woman that triumphs as she confronts her darkness to realize the good she deserves to have and hold.
