About the book
Missy Wright's mother has been shunned by her family since marrying for love, not money. Now widowed, the women live a quiet existence in genteel poverty. Plain, thin and unforgivably single, it seems Missy's life is destined to be dreary. But then a stranger opens Missy's eyes to the possibility of a happy ending.
