Susan Wade has designed a fabulous future for herself. She’s shed all things southern to become a sophisticated and uncompromising urban business woman with a promising career in the tech industry. But her plans begin to unravel with the promise of a fabulous promotion. To earn it, she must clean up a public relations nightmare in the worst place she can possibly imagine. Home.
Within days of beginning her risky assignment, Susan meets her romantically challenged officemate, a cast of ridiculous, but endearing characters, and Pete Walsh, an arrogant local businessman who makes it his life’s mission to torment her. Through explosive and hilarious clashes that land her flat on her butt more often than not, Pete challenges her values, blind ambition, skewed conception of love, and ultimately her ignorance; that in the frenzy to achieve her professional goals, she's lost sight of what's really important in life.
So grab a big glass of iced tea, crank up the southern rock, and travel to beautiful coastal North Carolina. Tissues recommended, but not required.
