Carly Stone comes home to discover her husband in bed with another woman. She leaves for her hometown of Charleston. She goes back to New York to her job as a mediator and soon finds her husband in the hot tub with the woman. She quits her job, donates his stuff to charity, arranges to have a friend sell her house, and leaves for Charleston permanently. Her father's business is threatened by a real estate development that will contain a mega hardware store. In spite of her hate for the show more developers, she finds herself attracted to the son. Grandma provides comic relief in this story. There's much more to it when Carly begins to try to stop the development and other things start happening. The plot is a bit far-fetched, but it's good for a non-demanding read that will occasionally put a smile on your face. The book needed additional grammatical editing in a few places. show less
