THE HOLLY AND THE IVY

Christmas season, 1978

Eli McClain is in Legend, Tennessee, as an honored guest, and everybody but Jeannie Adams is thrilled about it. What has Eli done to deserve the red carpet treatment? He left town right after high school, made a name for himself and never looked back, while she's stayed around and been a useful citizen.

Eli remembers the small town girl who was always competing with him for the best grades. Now, a few years later, Jeannie is prettier than ever, in spite of the way she dresses for work. Eli never expected to date a plumber, or to share his secrets with this fiery girl who's full of surprises.
