In a small town where secrets simply don't exist, thanks to nosy neighbors and greased lightning gossip, the truth may be found in the corner booth of the diner on Main Street

Nothing ever happens in Eudora and that's the way this small town, surrounded by oil, wheat, and cattle, likes it - Eudorans are allergic to innovation. But when a former resident publishes a novel with characters based on a number of townspeople, it prompts an unforeseen interest in contemporary literature. Suddenly, there are a whole lot of new ideas in town - not all of them good. As long-standing allegiances are challenged, rivalries grow, romance blooms, and the war in Iraq reaches the small town, Eudora will never be the same.
