Linwood Breedlove Scott's life has officially hit rock
bottom. Her husband of thirty years has run off with a
stripper. The IRS has taken everything but her coffee
table. And her hot flashes are four-alarmers. The only
thing that could make being flat-broke and fifty any worse
is having to crawl home to her parents' house in Mimosa
Branch, Georgia...which is exactly where she's headed.
Lin's barely prepared for the loony bin that greets her,
from her controlling, eighty-year-old mother and
shockingly blunt father to her long-suffering Aunt Glory
and her deranged Uncle Bedford who is convinced a cannibal
lives under the furniture. Nor is she ready for the
instant love-hate attraction she feels for her handsome
new next-door neighbor. Trying to navigate her way through
the second act of her life with nothing more than a
prepaid calling card, a broken heart, and plenty of
Prozac, Lin's about to discover that it's never too late
for old friends, new romance, the ties of family, and a
second chance to survive it all on the road to becoming
the person you were always meant to be...
