Description: Successful children's-book author Jessie Schroeder, devastated after a divorce, returns to the small town where she grew up and finds herself bristling at the interference of nosy relatives, who object when she hires recovering alcoholic Willy Bachmann as her handyman. When a local woman in town turns up dead, everyone assumes that Willy is the murderer. Jessie's efforts to clear him irritate the locals, especially when she starts investigating the activities of the powerful Industrial Development Authority.
