Strike three is the dead body that turns up shortly thereafter... When MacLaren's old college boyfriend comes to town on the heels of his son' s political campaign, Mac is ready to scram out of Hopemore faster than the family's gubernatorial buffalo mascot. But when a homeless Bullock campaign supporter winds up dead in this small southern town, MacLaren and her ex-boyfriend are suddenly thrust onto center stage together, and for all the wrong reasons. With the campaign trail gaining heat and Burlin Bullock's presence kicking up long-settled memories from her past, Mac must solve her way out of a scandal that threatens not only her marriage, but also her life... "Patricia Sprinkle takes the reader on a trip to the 'real' South, the South of family traditions, community customs, church-going, and craft, down-home politics.

Fun and family values triumph in a delightful book."- JoAnna Carl, author of The Chocolate Frog Frame-Up "Sprinkle has a gift for developing a full, rich world." -Publisher's Weekly "Sprinkle entertains and enchants her readers. Her characters are so real you' ll find yourself believing you grew up with them." -Christian Retailing "Sprinkle has a real eye for regional culture and traditions. . . . She tackles weighty subject matter with a steady hand and a reassuring touch."-Atlanta Journal Constitution
