Lucy Crawford's family is so far in debt that she worries they may lose their Mississippi antebellum home as her curator's salary cannot support the Crawfords' lavish spending. To make ends meet, she agrees to rent out part of the mansion to the Free Clinic of Tupelo, but heading the business is a young doctor who was her childhood love, Jeremiah (Jem) Chevy. Lucy had broken off their relationship a decade earlier because of her family's objections. She feels guilty for breaking Jem's heart, and he is determined to never let it happen again. Could they possibly have a second chance at love? VERDICT It is not necessary to be familiar with Jane Austen's Persuasion to enjoy this modern-day Southern Regency romp. Somewhat stereotypical minor characters add humor, while attractive but flawed Jem and Lucy learn about love, forgiveness, and loyalty. Sure to be devoured by fans of Austen read-alikes and Southern romances.--Margaret Bentley, Shiawassee Dist. Lib., Owosso, MI
