"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.
