Description:
Life in Henryetta, Arkansas is turned upside down
with the arrival of a televangelist, but it’s the death of a little old lady on
Rose’s street that catches her attention. The Henryetta police deem her death
natural causes, but Rose suspects foul play and so does an unlikely supporter–
the president of the Busy Body Club, her eighty-two year old neighbor Mildred.
But Rose is in the middle of opening her
nursery with her sister Violet, who’s separated from her husband Mike, as well
as stalling her boyfriend Joe’s family, rich socialites who are determined to
meet her. Along with her multiple encounters with Fenton County’s new assistant
DA, Mason Deveraux III, it’s just another day in the life of Rose Gardner–
chaos.

Description:
For Rose Gardner, working at the DMV on a Friday
afternoon is bad even before she sees a vision of herself dead. She's had
plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someone's toilet's overflowed, but
she's never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up
murdered on her sofa instead, two things are certain: There isn't enough
hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is
the prime suspect.
Rose realizes she's wasted twenty-four years of
living and makes a list on the back of a Wal-Mart receipt: twenty-eight things
she wants to accomplish before her vision comes true. She's well on her way
with the help of her next door neighbor Joe, who has no trouble teaching Rose
the rules of drinking, but won't help with number fifteen-- do more with a man.
Joe's new to town, but it doesn't take a vision for Rose to realize he's got
plenty secrets of his own.
Somebody thinks Rose has something they want and
they'll do anything to get it. Her house is broken into, someone else she knows
is murdered, and suddenly, dying a virgin in the Fenton County jail isn't her
biggest worry after all.

Description:
When Rose reports for Fenton County jury duty
she figures she's lucky to get out of a morning working at the DMV. Instead,
despite a disastrous encounter with the new assistant district attorney, Mason
Deveraux, she's picked as a juror on a murder case. As the trial progresses,
she realizes an ominous vision she had in the men's restroom proves the
defendant is innocent. And there's not a cotton picking thing she can do about
it. Or is there? As if things weren't bad enough, Rose's older sister Violet is
going through a mid-life crisis. Violet insists that Rose stop seeing her sexy
new boyfriend, Arkansas state detective Joe Simmons, and date other men. Rose
is done letting people boss her around, but she can't commit to Joe either.
Still, Rose isn't about to let the best thing in her life slip away.
New York Times and USA Today
bestselling author Denise Grover Swank was born in Kansas City, Missouri and
lived in the area until she was nineteen. Then she became a nomadic gypsy,
living in five cities, four states and ten houses over the course of ten years
before she moved back to her roots. She speaks English and smattering of
Spanish and Chinese which she learned through an intensive Nick Jr. immersion
period. Her hobbies include witty Facebook comments (in own her mind) and
dancing in her kitchen with her children. (Quite badly if you believe her
offspring.) Hidden talents include the gift of justification and the
ability to drink massive amounts of caffeine and still fall asleep within two
minutes. Her lack of the sense of smell allows her to perform many unspeakable
tasks. She has six children and hasn’t lost her sanity. Or so she leads
you to believe.
