DESCRIPTION

For Lucy Beauregard, 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 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.

Diane Les Becquets serves up a humorous helping of love, growing up, the resilience of friendship, and --- oh, yes --- uses for hot sauce that are sure to make your mama blush!
