Summary
 Jane Austen's Emma Meets Small-Town Wisconsin in a Warm 1930s Romp! When vivacious college student Melody Merriweather is summoned home to run her family's general store after her father suffers a heart attack, she's convinced her life is over. The sleepy mining town of Merriweather, Wisconsin is a far cry from her exciting life in Chicago. But the Merc isn't doing as well as she thought. She soon discovers her father owes five hundred dollars, due the first of the year, with no way to pay it. With the help of her inherited eccentric staff, Melody tries one idea after another. Silk scarves, cloche hats, cider brewed under the table. Nothing seems to workincluding her attempts to find a husband for her timid shop girl, Harriet. And every mistake draws a surly comment from Cal, the infuriatingly handsome young butcher at the back of the shop. Melody longs to return to Chicago. But when two mysterious strangers arrive in town with plans of their own, will she figure out what really matters before it's gone? Perfect for readers who love Jane Austen retellings, clean and wholesome romance, a grumpy-sunshine romance, forced proximity, a meddling matchmaker, small-town found family, and plucky heroines in over their heads. Fans of Cranford and All Creatures Great and Small who love a warm ensemble castwith a dash of romance and 1930s Americanawill devour this series.
