"A novel" - cover.

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 standstill because of the economy, and her ex-husband, his alimony payments (and his current wife, a former stripper) 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's mansion. This time around things are different. Her uncle and father are living in a home, and her mother 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.
