Leaving a cushy job in Maryland isn't in Interior Designer, Rae Long's plan. Accompanied by her rambunctious Labrador, Puffs, Rae stuffs her VW Bug to the max, and takes the plunge. This move isn't on her radar until an inheritance steers her to the town of Hope, South Carolina to purchase a bed and breakfast only to be deceived by a bungled website. Are residents of Hope ready for an outsider to invade their southern town? The possibilities are endless as Rae and her canine meet the inhabitants, which include a Realtor, the Historical Society, a professor, and an energetic Great Dane. There is no room in the VW Bug, but you can jump onto the running boards, and cruise with Rae through the miniscule town of Hope. Will she ever find her own ray of hope?
