Starlene is a former white-trash Alaskan resident who returns to her hometown for two reasons: 1. to produce her home makeover show that is taking place there, and 2. to clean out her deceased aunt's trailer.  However, when working on item number 2, she runs in to the childhood bully who made her formative years hell.  As an adult, it's hard to move past those hurts, but he does what he can to apologize and repent, and eventually explain why he treated her as such.With a supporting cast of a flaky mom, a pregnant sister and sister-in-law, and three precocious children, Star has her work cut out for her.The book was very cute and shows that one can "rise above" their upbringing.  The romantic undertones were a bit predictable, but that's the point - nobody wants to read a romance where nobody hooks up.
