A lively Southern retelling of Jane Austenβs Persuasion, featuring Lucy Crawford, who is thrown back into the path of her first love while on a quest to save her beloved family home. Lucy Crawford is part of a wealthy, well-respected Southern family with a long local history. But since Lucyβs mother passed away, the family home, a gorgeous antebellum mansion, has fallen into disrepair and the depth of her fatherβs debts is only starting to be understood. Selling the family home may be the only optionβuntil her Aunt Olympia floats the idea of using Crawford house to hold the local free medical clinic, which has just lost its space. As if turning the plantation home into a clinic isnβt bad enough, Lucy is shocked and dismayed to see that the doctor who will be manning the clinic is none other than Jeremiah Chevyβher first love. Lucy and Jeremiah were high school sweethearts, but Jeremiah was from the wrong side of the tracks. His family was redneck and proud, and Lucy was persuaded to dump him. He eventually left town on a scholarship, and now, ten years later, heβs returned as part of the rural physician program. And suddenly, their paths cross once again. While Lucyβs family still sees Jeremiah as trash, she sees something else in himβas do several of the other eligible ladies in town. Will he be able to forgive the past? Can she be persuaded to give love a chance this time around?
