Garvin Daniels is a sassy, bright, self-absorbed D.C. Lawyer with her eyes on a partnership. There's just one problem - Meemaw, her seventy-something grandmother!

Meemaw has been transformed. She's suddenly a slimmed-down, silver-haired fox with a new attitude. And all fingers are pointing at a much younger retired pro football player. GoGo Walker, who cruises into Meemaw's small rural town with a red sports car and a reputation for womanizing. Eyes are watching and gossip is flying - especially at Big Esther's Beauty Shop.

When Garvin discovers her grandmother's radical emancipation - the man who's leading the charge - she hits the road for her North Carolina home, determined to help Meemaw get it together before she goes too far....
