The next Southern charmer from "a talented writer" (Jackson Free Press)
Weddings are big news in the Delta town of Second Creek, Mississippi. Especially when the wedding is that of the town's new mayor, the seventy-oneyears-young Hale Dunbar, who is about to tie the knot with Gaylie Lyons, to whom he first lost his heart back in the 1940s.
Hale used to be the proprietor of the Piggly Wiggly, which closed a few years back. Unfortunately Gaylie's spoiled children are trying to shut down the wedding as well. They're putting up a stink about her move to this small Southern town, no matter how lovely the neighbors are. It falls to the town's matrons, the Nitwitts, to get the kids on board-and pave the way for more than one new beginning in Second Creek.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dalby (Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly) rolls out his trademark Southern charm in his third foray into the Mississippi Delta town of Second Creek. More than half a century after they first meet and fall in love, Mayor Hale Dunbar Jr. (Mr. Choppy to the townsfolk) and his Chicago fianc e, wealthy widow Gaylie Girl Lyons, are ready to marry. Neither are spring chickens, but that's the least of their problems. The mayor's worried over a possible closing of the catfish processing plant, and Gaylie Girl's grown children are concerned about their inheritance. Their disapproval puts a damper on the couple's joy, but when the skeptical offspring visit Second Creek, Hale and Gaylie Girl's friends, the Nitwitts, plan a visit fit for royalty. Will Hale and the Nitwitts win the kids over? And how will Gaylie Girl, with her mansion in Chicago, feel about living in Hale's cramped bungalow? Naturally, it all works out, as things tend to do in the whimsical little town where everyone is happy not just ever after but pretty much 24/7.
