Description
Eve Prince is done--with college, with her mom, with guys, and with her dream of fashion design. But when her best friend goes MIA, Eve must
gather together the broken threads of her life in order to search for
her.
When Eve's grandmother, Boop, a retiree dripping with Southern charm,
finds out about the trip, she--desperate to see her sister, and also
hoping to alleviate Eve's growing depression--hijacks her granddaughter's
road trip. Boop knows from experience that healing Eve will require
more than flirting lessons and a Garlic Festival makeover. Nevertheless,
Boop is frustrated when her feeble efforts yield the same failure that
her sulfur-laced sip from the Fountain of Youth wrought on her age. She
knows that sharing the secret that's haunted her for sixty years might
be the one thing that will lessen Eve's growing depression--but she also
fears that if she reveals it, she'll lose her family and her own
hard-won happiness.
Boop and Eve's journey through the heart of Dixie is an unforgettable love story between a grandmother and her granddaughter.
