Maggie Pickwick is a lifetime away from her days as head cheerleader and the mistakes she made in high school. Twelve years later, this single mom has traded pompoms for an auctioneer's gavel, popularity for peace and quiet, and strives to be a good example for her daughter Devyn. She's keeping it together just fine, too--until an old flame moves back to her little North Carolina town.Renowned artist Reece Thorpe wants nothing to do with Maggie--not after what she did to him in high school--but he might also be Devyn's father. Fed by her own pride and fear for her daughter's happiness, Maggie finds herself on a slippery slope of white lies as she attempts to convince Reece that she's changed. But the truth has a way of making itself known, and now Maggie's past and present mistakes could ruin her chance at love.From the Trade Paperback edition.

[b:Leaving Carolina: A Novel 6050621 Leaving Carolina (Southern Discomfort, #1) Tamara Leigh https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1421019705l/6050621.SY75.jpg 6226283] was my first real introduction to author [a:Tamara Leigh 11463 Tamara Leigh https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1572316317p2/11463.jpg] and I was left eagerly awaiting the second in the series [b:Nowhere, Carolina: A Novel 7139680 Nowhere, Carolina (Southern Discomfort #2) Tamara Leigh https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320432235l/7139680.SY75.jpg 7403470]. Now having finished this book I cannot wait for the next adventure in the Pickwick cousin's lives with Bridget's story, coming 2011. Once again I giggled and in a feminine way I declare I chuckled. Maggie Pickwick is a grown up moving each day beyond what she once was and in a humiliatingly humorous fashion she attempts to be the good Christian she knows that she now is and hide secrets. Each chapter was better than the last and I was on the edge of my seat curious about who the true father was. I think that this is a great story for redemption in admitting a sin that was and turning it for something good. I highly recommend this adventure in the wacky lives of the Pickwick family from Pickwick, North Carolina and encourage you to read the first book as well although this one would stand alone quite nicely. Thanks to Staci Carmichael of WaterBrook Multnomah for providing a copy for review.
