"The charmingly eccentric and infinitely lovable characters from Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly are back..."(Louise Shaffer, author of The Ladies of Garrison Gardens )

In Second Creek, Mississippi, Hale Dunbar is taking on the solidly entrenched mayor in the upcoming election. Hale may not have much political experience, but he has something better: he's being backed by the Nitwitts-the town's most influential and enjoyably eccentric posse of widows. As the campaign unfolds, everyone is about to discover what's more important than coming in first-close friends, second chances, and true love. And of course, a good slogan.
