Book Description:
Jenna Lind, transplanted from her posh Atlanta penthouse to frozen Fawn Creek, Minnesota, wants to get herself into a good college and escape. She hopes that winning the Butter Queen crown will do the trick. But she loses. And worse yet, she has to have a sculpture of her head carved in butter displayed at the state fair.
Steve Jaax, a renowned sculptor in New York City, finds himself in Fawn Creek carving heads out of dairy products. But the failed beauty queen he meets there has more going on in her head than he expects, and together they discover each other and what true happiness can be.

It's all about a small town girl who found success and had to return to the town she hated. It's basically a story about her feelings about it. It's okay. Kind of a bland read. Not great, but not bad. A pleasant enough way to pass time.

Twenty years later shes on the susp of real stardom shes about to leave for new york to be crowned queen of daytime tv when fawn creek asks her to be grand marshal of the towns sesquicentennial.
Thought the heroine was great though the hero was a little too wacky for me. Laugh out loud funny in some parts. Nice move to contemporaries for Brockway.
Crazy funny read.
Hilarious at times. Unforgettable characters.

I loved this book! It does give you a moral, however the bumbling antics of the "bad guys" make for a fun read.
Michele W. from NEW YORK, NY wrote on 11/27/2006...After Jenn's parents lose all of their money gambling and have to move back to Minnesota to a run down farm, Jenn becomes determined to get security. She works her way through college to become a local Martha Stewart. And then she meets sculptor who rocks her off her course. Entertaning.
Easy read - likeable characters - Jenn who is driven to a success to leave small town life far, far behind, Steve Jaxx, a sculptor trying to find inspiration again and a butter head ... fun, enjoyable story
