A New Attitude

A woman at her wit's end discovers that a little attitude goes a long way in this small-town Southern romantic comedy.

Marilee Abernathy's life is a mess. Everyone in Chickpea, South Carolina, knows about her husband's affair with the town floozy. Even her dignified farewell—complete with pearls and impeccably applied Mary Kay cosmetics—turns into to a spectacularly unsuccessful attempt to hang herself from a fake ceiling beam.

Now Marilee figures there must be a better way to cope. All she needs is a new attitude—at least that's what Marilee's neighbor Sam Brewer thinks. Unfortunately, between his demanding mother and his crazy ex-wife, he's in no position to help her find one.

Even still, Marilee starts taking charge and taking chances she'd never imagined. And watching her blossom reminds Sam of some long-forgotten dreams of his own. Now he's just got to convince her to turn some of that attitude his way.
