Linwood Scott, a southern woman through and through,
moves into a garage apartment next to her mother's mansion
and finds life, love, and long
buried secrets in this funny,
heartwarming novel
It's been ten years since Linwood Scott had to move back
home to Mimosa Branch, Georgia the first time. Now, with
her work in real estate at a stand-still because of the
economy, and her ex-husband and his alimony payments (and
his former stripper-current wife) nowhere to be seen,
Linwood finds herself back in the place she'd never thought
she'd be: the garage apartment next to her mother Mamie's
mansion. But this time around things are different. It's
not just Linwood that's ten years older. Her uncle and
father are living in a home, and Mamie is working hard to
take care of everything on her own (while still bossing
around her nearest and dearest). Linwood's brother has
cleaned up his act and turned over a new leaf. And there's
a new Baptist preacher in town...who also happens to be
handsome and divorced. While Linwood reconnects with Mimosa
Branch and works to figure out what her next step will be,
its family, love, and a sense of humor that will help guide
her through the unpredictable turns her life has taken.
