" Today&amp;#039;s book review is from WomansDay.com Associate Editor Olivia Putnal. She read Belle in the Big Apple by Brooke Parkhurst. This autobiographical book tells the story of the beautiful Southern belle from Alabama, Brooke Parkhurst who made her way to the bright lights and big city to pursue her journalism and cooking career. The road wasn&amp;#039;t quite an easy start for this talented and aspiring woman in her 20s. Read along as Brooke experiences the ups and downs of New York City life and brings her Southern charm and recipes along with her too. The story was particularly heartwarming and entertaining, the writing is outstandingly clever, and the recipes are finger lickin&amp;#039; good. The story will sure hit home for some readers like me, who have made their way north of the Mason Dixon line in search of their dreams. \u2014Olivia Putnal  We&amp;#039;d love to hear about what you&amp;#039;re reading, too.
