The Event

"Picture Sweet Home Alabama meets Hope Floats with a touch of something totally unexpected. Hollywood needs to pay attention to this one!!"-USA Today Bestselling Author, Diana Orgain
Emmie Frothingham here. There's a reason I left my hometown of Creek Water, Missouri, as soon as humanly possible. That reason is small-minded, judgmental people who wouldn't know the truth if it was coughed up on them like an errant furball.
After graduating from college, I got my dream job in New York City where I was head buyer at Silver Spoons—a high-end kitchenware boutique. My life was ideal, until the night of the event. I speak of my company's annual awards ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Nerves, plus too much tequila, resulted in a scene that pretty much ended my big-city career. My wild night is the reason I had to move home to Creek Water. I will now be directly in the sights of the gossipy country club harpies who drove me away in the first place. Good times.
But who knows—now that I'm grown up, maybe I can make peace with my past. I might even have a second chance with Josh.
All I know is I'm going to do my best to get my life together and stop caring what my critics have to say about me.
Wish me luck.
