Hope and her aunt are a team. Addie's exemplary cooking skills are needed at a diner in Wisconsin, and Hope has learned the serving tricks of the dining trade in their travels. Coming most recently from New York City, Hope does not expect to fit in, but there is plenty happening in the small town with her boss running for mayor despite his leukemia.

Politics, corruption, honor, and trust are served here with plenty of humor and warmth.
