especially not her trusted friends Sophia, Ida, and Mavis -- would ever

her stay in Charleston to help care for her ailing housekeeper. Though
the Charleston air is drenched with azalea and honeysuckle, and there's

Mavis, and Sophia are relishing new careers as models. And Abby, Toots's
daughter, is getting hitched. In the middle of so much change, Toots is

friends -- may have other plans. And every godmother, fairy or
otherwise, loves a story that ends with happily-ever-after...
