Ace's Florida dreams crumble when her engagement falls apart. She packs up and drives back to Bugtussle, Mississippi, moving into the small house her late Gramma Jones left behind. Her best friends Lilly and Chloe celebrate her return, but Ace faces immediate problems. She wants her old position teaching art at the local high school, but the gorgeous Cameron Becker holds that job and refuses to give it up. Ace settles for substitute teaching while plotting to force Miss Becker out of town. Her friends keep arranging unwanted blind dates despite her protests about their interference. Seeking calm in the chaos, Ace starts gardening and finds mysterious love letters tucked inside her grandmother's old gardening manual. With her chiweenie Buster Loo as her constant companion, Ace investigates her grandmother's hidden romantic past while trying to prevent her own life from completely falling apart.
