Falling in love isn't something she has planned. In fact, there are a whole lot of things she hasn't planned, like her two best friends getting their first tastes of love, or the attraction her very-married mama seems to have for another man, or the confusing flurry in her own heart stirred by a handsome--and much older--stranger. And then there's the arrival of Dewey, a boy unlike anyone she's ever known. In one sweltering summer, Lucy not only discovers herself but soars into love, Cajun style.
