Meanwhile, Mary Dells new boss hopes to attract a different demographicby bringing in a younger co-host. What Holly Whittaker knows about quilting wouldnt fill a thimble, but shes smart and ambitious. Her career hinges on outshining the formidable Mary Dell in order to earn her own show. Yet as Holly adapts to small-town living and begins a new romance, and Mary Dell considers rekindling an old one, the two find unlikely kinship. For as Mary Dell knows, the women of Too Much have a knack for untangling the knottiest problems when they work together. And sometimes the pattern for happiness is as simple and surprising as it is beautiful.
