The recent thread on staff picks caused me to ask our staff for their
recommendations. And now I have a coworker who can't remember two of her
favorite books!

Here's her description: Two titles in the series. They were very popular
books 3 (or more) years ago. One title has a picture of little girls on the
the front. They are set in the south. A group of women friends who have
been friends for a long time play cards and drink (and presumably talk).
She calls them "women's literary fiction."

Definitely not my sort of read (leaning more toward SF and mystery), so I
turn to Fiction-L for help. . .

Could you be thinking of Sweet Tea and Jesus Shoes by 6 Southern women,
including Virginia Ellis, Sandra Chastain, Debra Dixon, etc. The publisher
is Belle Books. A subsequent book is entitled Mossy Creek.
