Welcome back to Chinkapin, Georgia, where Laurie and Chase are living happily ever after — or are they? He's awfully busy with work, and Laurie's either out with her friend Mary or chasing down another freelance article for the "Journal." Come to think of it, Chase and Laurie aren't even engaged yet. Laurie assures Chase there's no need to be jealous when he sees her around town with the owner of a new bookstore. But after what Chase's late wife put him through, it's no wonder he has trust issues. And Laurie learns that ex-husbands cast long shadows. Her imagination is way too active, and she can't take her own advice about jealousy when she finds out Chase is having clandestine meetings with a mysterious woman. Will Laurie's chance for happiness slip through her fingers? Meanwhile, you'll never guess what turns up at the Treasure Chest thrift shop this time! Is it worth something? Or worthless? Laurie is determined to find out. She still enjoys working at the shop, but a couple of the other volunteers are being difficult. You never know when Alice will show up for work, and Laurie wishes Evelyn wouldn't show up so often. She sure gets on Laurie's nerves, and if something doesn't change, the two may be headed for a show-down.
