Caroline OโConnor never dreamed sheโd be back home in Cold River, Missouri, the Ozark Mountain town where everyone is โup your business.โโฆthey mean well as they drive you crazy. She thought sheโd left town for good, but now sheโs back, helping to care for her New York born motherโstruck with Alzheimerโs, and prone to saying and doing anythingโand her father, the beloved local doctor frustrated he canโt cure his own wife.
As for Caroline, sheโs doing โjust fineโ coping with her parents, her brazen cousin Ava Dawnโs marital disasters, her mostly-deaf dogโฆand with Noah Cranwell, far-flung relative of a local family mostly infamous for running moonshine, an ex-veteran whoโs come to Cold River with troubles of his own.
Caroline believes she knows everything about Cold River and the people who live in its hills and hollers โฆ but sometimes lifeโs greatest surprises happen closest to home.
