Tied to the Tracks - by Rosina Lippi (Paperback)

About the Book

"With its quirky, plainspoken characters and generous spirit, Ogilvie, Georgia, is the 'Lake Wobegone' of the South. This is a hilarious, smart, sexy novel with a heart of gold."

Book Synopsis

Angie Mangiamele runs a film company in Hoboken, New Jersey-a long way (in more ways than one) from Ogilvie, Georgia. But a new project has brought her to this small Southern town, where she stands out like a fire truck in a flower garden.

She's been invited to Ogilvie by Miss Zula Bragg, the intensely private literary legend who's agreed to appear in a documentary made by Angie's highly unconventional crew. And there's someone else in own Angie looks forward to seeing: John Grant, a descendant of Ogilvie's founders with whom she had a long-ago summer romance. But John's wedding-to the daughter of a prominent local family-is just days away, and promises to be the sleepy town's social event of the year.

What could possibly go right?
