This is a classic fish-out-of-water story. Leelee Satterfield, a true Southern belle, has a nearly perfect life. She has a happy marriage to the high school football star, two beautiful young daughters, a custom-decorated home, and a lifetime of dear friends. One day her husband presents her with the proposal that they buy an inn and move to the North ... to Vermont! Although she doesn't want to move, a Southern woman always supports her husband, so they pack up their lives and relocate to an area of the country they've never visited.

Immediately upon their arrival calamities ensue, most described in a humorous way. A big unexpected event forces Leelee to take stock of her situation and decide how she wishes to craft the future for her daughers and herself. In the end, the book has a happy and humorous ending and definitely leads into its sequel, Yankee Doodle Dixie. In the author's note, I learned that several aspects of this novel are inspired by the author's life.
