Frankie Cooper has grown up surrounded by her outrageous family in the small town of Edenville, North Carolina. The problem with growing up with a suffocating family is that even though her eighteenth birthday is behind her they still don't see her as an adult. But when she's finally in the arms of the man she's been dreaming about, none of that matters. She's been in love with Maxwell for years and nothing will get in the way starting her life with him. She only needs to prove to her family that she's capable and then they'll learn to let her go. Will she finally convince her family she's ready to be on her own or will she come crashing back to reality and realize she's thrown a match on the bridge that should lead her back home?
