"Happy birthday? My pig-farmer boyfriend was in absentia,
the county sheriff was the current cause of some very
naughty thoughts, my drunk sister-in-law was passed out at
my kitchen table, and my dead mother had sent balloons.
What else could a girl want?"
On the occasion of her 46th birthday, Caroline Wimbley
Levine is concerned about filling the large shoes of her
late, force-of-nature mother, Miss Lavinia, the former
Queen of Tall Pines Plantation. Still, Caroline loves a
challenge—and she simply will not be fazed by the myriad
family catastrophes surrounding her. She'll deal with
brother Trip's tricky romantic entanglements, son Eric and
his mysterious girlfriend, and go toe-to-toe with
alcoholic Frances Mae and her four hellcats without
batting an eye, becoming more like Miss Lavinia every
day . . . which is not an entirely good thing.
