She lives contentedly with her fiery mother and her quiet headstrong daughter. But the unexpected arrival of two men on Glory Road make her question if she’s really happy with the status quo. Handsome wealthy Sumner Tate asks her to arrange flowers for his daughter’s wedding and Jessie finds herself drawn to his continued attention.
