"Love puts people in a kind of haze, you know. They don't think clearly. Emotions take over. The heart leads, but the heart knows only its own ways, and not those of the world. More's the pity." When Deputy Elmer Hodges gives a traffic ticket to Anita Bressett, the new librarian in Loving's Forge, he is smitten. His mother, Elvira, doesn't approve, and is determined to sabotage their relationship. She finds out that Anita is hiding a shameful secret. But in revealing that secret, Elvira gets caught up in her own web of deceit and must confront a painful scandal from her own past.
