Description
Marilee Abernathy's life is a mess. Everyone in Chickpea, South Carolina, knows about her husband's affair with the town floozy.
But when her dignified farewell-complete with pearls and impeccably applied Mary Kay cosmetics-turns into a spectacularly unsuccessful attempt to hang herself from a fake ceiling beam, Marilee figures there has to be a better way to cope.
Marilee needs a new attitude-at least, that's what her neighbor Sam Brewer thinks. Between his demanding mother and his crazy ex-wife, though, the last thing he wants is another woman whose life is out of control. But Marilee's learning on her own that a little attitude can go a long way-suddenly she's taking charge and taking chances she'd never imagined. And watching her blossom reminds Sam of some long-forgotten dreams of his own. Now he's just got to convince her to turn some of that attitude his way....

Person
Award-winning author Charlotte Hughes began her writing career in the early eighties, publishing newspaper and magazine articles before becoming a successful category romance writer. Her mystery novels have received accolades from such renowned authors as Pat Conroy and Janet Evanovich. Her simple, down-to-earth style, combined with a sometimes irreverent sense of humour, has captivated readers and earned her a large following. Charlotte makes her home in Beaufort, South Carolina, with her two Dachshunds, whom she lovingly refers to as Dumb and Dumber.
