Dot, still reeling from her husband’s recent passing, faces the unsettling prospect of starting a new life from scratch. Marlafaye, a good ol’ Texas gal, has blasted into Savannah in the wake of losing her tom-cattin’ husband to a twenty-three year old dental hygienist. Jinx, also new to town, offers her services as a much- needed life coach for these women.
