Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'easter

LEELEE SATTERFIELD leaves her beloved Memphis to follow her husband's pipe dream: to manage a quaint Vermont inn. But when they arrive, young daughters and ancient Yorkie in tow, they discover pretty fast that there's a truckload of things nobody tells you about Vermont until you live there. When Leelee is left swindled and snowbound, she's forced to confront the true depth of her Southern grit in this foreign town.

In this moving and comedic debut, Lisa Patton paints a hilarious portrait of life in Vermont as seen through the eyes of a Southern belle. It's a charming fish-out-of-water tale of one woman who learns to stand up for herself -- in sandals and snow boots -- against all odds.
