Ever since Tori Weston and MamaBear were abandoned by her dad, finances have been tighter than a new pair of skinny jeans. As if keeping her grades up for scholarships and working every spare moment weren't enough, Tori gets suckered into visiting a retirement home and paired with ancient resident Marigold Williams. After learning she's the only one to visit Marigold in decades, Tori becomes a regular at Willow Springs. Besides, someone has to help with her history homework. Corbin Dallas barges into Tori's life with a prosthetic leg and a dimple, working his way into her hectic schedule. Though she tries to deny it, there's something beyond his Texan drawl that gets Tori hoping she's more than his sidekick. Together, they race to find Marigold's missing family before she fades away. Tori ditches her soul-sucking job, along with her dreams of having a paint-peeled clunker to call her own, in order to help her friend one last time.
