Sam reluctantly moves back to the small town of Browning, Indiana to dispose of the house he inherited at his mother's death. Until he meets the cheerful, red-headed, free-spirited mayor, he's planning to leave as soon as possible.Lily loves Browning and wants to help it flourish. She understands Sam and notices how tense and driven he seems to be. She sets about teaching him how to loosen up and enjoy life.It is a fairly clean novel with no sex scenes and only a very few mild curse words. There were a couple of grammatical mistakes. The most noticable was the misuse of "you and I" in what should have been the objective case.Still, this is one of the best character-driven books I've ever read. The fact Schuler was able to hold my interest and keep me rapidly turning pages attests to her skill as an author.
