E-book extra: Reading group guide.That one unthinkable, unmistakable thing is happening to Ava Johnson in sleepy Idlewild after a decade of luxe living in Atlanta: she is falling in love. The classic bestseller and Oprah fave is now available in a delightful new e-book edition.After a decade of elegant pleasures and luxe living among the Atlanta brothers and sisters with the best clothes and the biggest dreams, Ava Johnson has temporarily returned home to Idlewild -- her fabulous career and power plans smashed to bits by cold reality. But what she imagines is the end is, instead, a beginning. Because, in the ten-plus years since Ava left, all the problems of the big city have come to roost in the sleepy North Michigan community whose ordinariness once drove her away; and she cannot turn her back on friends and family who sorely need her in the face of impending trouble and tragedy. Besides which, that one unthinkable, unmistakable thing is now happening to her: Ava Johnson is falling in love.
