About This Book
A young girl, life-changing decisions and an unexpected love leave a middle-aged woman finding her way through a maze of emotions, drama and true Southern mayhem! Ada Mae Tyndall loves to argue. She doesn't have the best attitude about life and might be just a tad bitter. She's never been married and has convinced herself that she hasn't missed a thing. It doesn't bother her, and she doesn't want to discuss it. So don't ask, though she'd love to argue with you about anything else. She's survived thus far by having a strong will and a wicked sense of humor. She believes she hasn't missed a thing by not having a husband or family, although her best friend, Sylvie Lindsay, thinks otherwise and begins scheming behind Ada Mae's back. Her long-time friend and attorney, Henry Reynolds, informs Ada Mae that a deceased town resident requests in his will that she have custody of his granddaughter, Dani Walker. She asks herself, what in the world would I do with a child? While seeking her attorney's advice, she discovers she has feelings for him she never allowed herself to explore. With the support of her closest friends, she gives the girl a home. When the child's long absent biological mother, Jennifer Walker, shows up and begins a custody battle, everyone wonders if it's really a battle over the child or a desire to obtain the family property. In the middle of all this, Ada Mae's feelings for Henry deepen, and she wonders if opening her heart to a child and her old crush, Henry, was the right thing to do after all. Ada Mae fights for the child's future and discovers the second half of her life might just be the best! It's Steel Magnolias meets the Golden Girls with a touch of Paula Deen!
