A driven magazine editor's backyard wedding becomes a high-stakes balancing act between family expectations and professional dreams.
Cordie McGuire is determined not to repeat her past mistakes. Years ago she eloped, leaving her mother hurt and alone in the wake of grief. Now her career is thriving, her daughter, Bea, is flourishing, and she's engaged to dependable Graham. This time she'll have the wedding her family deserved all along--a celebration at her childhood home overlooking the Charleston marsh, rich with tradition and memory.
Tallulah McGuire welcomes the second chance, even as preparing the weathered family home without her late husband forces her to confront what's been neglected--both structurally and emotionally. But when Cordie's exacting boss at Southern Home offers to cover the picturesque Lowcountry wedding in exchange for considering Cordie for a promotion, the intimate event quickly transforms into a high-stakes production.
Editorial demands mount, tensions rise, and the wedding begins to drift far from the McGuires' vision. As pressure strains Cordie's relationship with Graham and reopens old wounds with her mother, she must decide what matters more: the future she's chasing or the family she risks losing again.
