This is the third book about the Jones family of Missouri and most of it takes place in the small oil boomtown of Rainwater, Oklahoma. Daughter Jill Jones has come to Oklahoma to help her ailing aunt, Justine Byers, run her hotel. However, Justine is not getting better and things are starting to happen in town.

Joe Jones and Thad Taylor (from the first story) are back and come to Rainwater to check that things are not too hard for Jill. The heroine is not one of my favorite Garlock characters. However, there are lots of cupids running around in this story and Laura's tale makes up for my irritation with Jill.
