Margot is a bit of a snob when she first moves to Lake Sackett and despite how out of place her fancy clothes and shoes are in the rural community, she clings to her big city ways. She is intrigued by Kyle Archer and although their attraction is mutual, are either of them ready for a relationship at this point in their lives?

Margot is surprisingly enchanted by her extended family but unsurprisingly, her estranged father, Stan, continues to be a disappointment. Grudgingly relocating to Lake Sackett, GA, she is out of her comfort zone in too many ways to count. Unable to find a job after her last event becomes famous for all the wrong reasons, Margot Cary very reluctantly accepts her Great-Aunt Tootie’s offer to work in the family business. The first full length novel in the Southern Eclectic series, Sweet Tea and Sympathy by Molly Harper is an absolutely charming novel of new beginnings and coming to terms with the past. Will Margot reel in her handsome fish, or will she have to release her latest catch? The two of them hit it off, but not everybody is happy to see an outsider snapping up one of the town’s most eligible gentleman. Elementary school principal Kyle Archer is a fellow fish-out-of-water who volunteers to show Margot the picture-postcard side of Southern living. Now she’s blackballed by the gala set and in dire need of a fresh start-and apparently the McCreadys are in need of an event planner with a tarnished reputation.Īs Margot finds her footing in a town where everybody knows not only your name, but what you had for dinner last Saturday night and what you’ll wear to church on Sunday morning, she grudgingly has to admit that there are some things Lake Sackett does better than Chicago-including the dating prospects. She’s riding high until one event goes tragically, spectacularly wrong. As an elite event planner, Margot’s rubbed elbows with the cream of Chicago society, and made elegance and glamour her business. Margot Cary has spent her life immersed in everything Lake Sackett is not.

And true to form in small Southern towns, family business becomes everybody’s business.

(What, you have a problem with one-stop shopping?) Two McCready brothers started two separate businesses in the same building back in 1928, and now it’s become one big family affair. Nestled on the shore of Lake Sackett, Georgia is the McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop.
