Romance Contemporary
An irresistible
Southern charmer about small-town gossip, second-chance romance,
strange weather, and ballroom dancing in the most unlikely
places.
Laurie Lepanto is on the horns of a dilemma. Her favorite
market, the
Piggly Wiggly, of Second Creek, Mississippi, is on the verge
of closing
its doors, nearly done in by a new Mega-Mart across town.
Over the
years, the Piggly Wiggly has been more than a
supermarket-it's been a
community center and town hall, and it's even seen a little
romance
blossom in its aisles.
Laurie-who has never met a
problem she
can't solve- is determined to help Mr. Choppy, the Piggly
Wiggly's
manager, keep his business afloat. She enlists her fellow
"Nitwitts," a
formidable array of the town's most influential widows, and
the town's
most eligible silver fox, Powell Hampton, a sixtysomething
widower and
former ballroom dance instructor. For two hours a week,
Powell will
waltz-or fox-trot or tango-at the Piggly Wiggly with Second
Creek's
ladies while the salesclerks do their shopping for them.
In a
place like Second Creek, where everyone knows everyone,
waltzing at the
Piggly Wiggly soon becomes the town's most festive event.
And after a
few turns around the floor with the handsome and charming
Powell,
Laurie soon begins to make plans for romance as well as
civic renewal.
