Not everyone in town wants to get on board though they don’t want change. When the buyer comes to town, he’s impressed by her vision, strength, and the hope she wants to offer not only to the town and its few remaining residents, but to a handful of kids in desperate need of a second chance. Trent July is the mayor, and watching the town of his birth slide into debt and foreclosure is about the hardest thing he’s ever done. The failing town had put itself up for sale on the Internet, so Bernadine bought it. The purpose turned out to be a town: Henry Adams, Kansas, one of the last surviving townships founded by freed slaves after the Civil War. Having been raised in the church, she knew that when much is given much is expected, so she asked God to send her a purpose. Nope, she hired herself a top notch lawyer and ended up with a cool $275 million. She was hurt angry, too but she didn’t cry woe is me. On Bernadine Brown’s fifty second birthday she received an unexpected gift she caught her husband, Leo, cheating with his secretary. One thing is clear, though: Jojo is a girl who always gets what she wants, sometimes in spite of herself. As the war rages on, Adam’s feelings for Jojo grow stronger, but Jojo’s determination to resist him does, too. Besides, she has George falling all over himself to please her. But he’s always been such a flirt he can’t possibly be serious about her. For her part, Jojo can’t deny her growing feelings for Adam. Even so, he just can’t get the headstrong lady off his mind.

Jojo isn’t looking for romance, but she permits George to call on her. At least until handsome George Brooks begins to pursue her. Just seventeen, she’s been to college, she has her own hairdressing shop and she refuses to be distracted from her goals.
