Description:
Angie Mangiamele runs a film company in Hoboken, New Jersey--a long way (in more ways than one) from Ogilvie, Georgia. But a new project has brought her to this small Southern town, where she stands out like a fire truck in a flower garden.
She's been invited to Ogilvie by Miss Zula Bragg, the intensely private literary legend who's agreed to appear in a documentary made by Angie's highly unconventional crew. And there's someone else in town Angie looks forward to seeing: John Grant, a descendant of Ogilvie's founders with whom she had a long-ago summer romance. But John's wedding--to the daughter of a prominent local family--is just days away, and promises to be the sleepy town's social event of the year.
What could possibly go right?
