Anna Lutz Abbot thinks she has her independence, and
therefore her happiness, intact. She is a capable woman, a
sensible woman, not someone given to risky living.
This all seems to be true enough until her lovely daughter
returns from college for the summer a very different
person, her wild and wonderful ex-husband arrives, and her
flamboyant new best friend takes up with her daddy, turning
a hot summer into a steaming one—only to be cranked up
another ten degrees by Anna's own fling with Arthur, who
is, heaven help us, a Yankee. All the action unfolds under
the watchful eyes of Miss Mavis and Miss Angel, her next-
door neighbors of a certain age, who have plenty to say
about Anna's past, present, and future.
