Leslie Edwards never expected to field the question-and-answer
column “Dear Granny” in the Goosebury Gazette. Her Bible-based
advice yields mixed responses, and the problems resulting are
bigger than she’d ever imagined. In addition, to maintain the
illusion of “Granny,” she must keep her job hidden from the man who
wants to know her best. More than anything, shy Blaine Cartell
would like to pursue his neighbor Leslie, but the isolated nature
of Goosebury, Vermont, extends to the personalities and practices
of its citizens. A letter to “Dear Granny” for advice seems the
most natural answer. After all, the wizened woman is all anyone
talks about anymore. When tragedy strikes and the truth is
revealed, can trust and romance be restored?
