From the kitchens of The Boardinghouse in Ivy Log, Georgia, comes a poignant love story about two lovers chasing each other from the Appalachians all the way to New York City.
If you really want to know the truth, the first thing you ought to know is that Pyune EverSweet Murphy had no intention of going to New York City. Yes, she won the $25,000 Bakers’ World Magazine’s annual baking contest. But, all that money doesn’t mean she’d get on an airplane and land in the bawdiest city she could imagine in her mountain-girl mind. Oh, no! Well . . . $25,000 was a lot of money . . .
Oh, if only Bakers’ World didn’t want the shy Pyune to be on The Today Show, compete in a bake-off with New York’s celebrity chefs and, worst of all, wear diamonds and show her . . . cleavage . . . in a dress that only movie stars wore! And what about that fellow who was an inch, maybe two, over six feet tall who advanced toward her and looked like he was bound and determined to sweep her off her feet?
Now, as she watched the bright lights of the city, she realizes she is as susceptible to the city’s magic as if it were a contagious fever. She quietly plots her escape only to realize there are reasons she wants to stay.
Her long-time lover, Wiley Hanson, aches for her return, wondering if New York will capture her and keep her forever. While he frets over Pyune, the town of Ivy Log begins a downward spiral as The Boardinghouse struggles to keep its fires burning.
EverSweet brings the joy of discovery as Pyune realizes she is truly the heroine of her own life.
