"When Gloria Bickford moves back to her hometown, she knows she needs to make peace with a lot of people. There's the mother Gloria has never failed to disappoint, whose facade of perfection covers a painful secret. There's the odious Cutter Press, who caused Gloria so much humiliation last year. There's her confident best friend, whose life is suddenly in meltdown. And there's her cookie-baking grandmother, whose senility is taking a bizarre but delicious form.

Gloria's relationship problems make her year in Eckerd City - and her crusade to expose the illegal tactics of environmentalists - seem a lifetime ago. But when a mysterious stalker begins dogging her steps, she realizes that she's brought a big-city problem home to Appelton."
