Azalea Pruett finds herself in poverty after her husband’s death. She discovers that he’s left her with a mountain of debt, and her story becomes one of riches to rags. Forced to become a waitress in a retro-fifties diner, her life turns completely upside down like a burger flipped on a hot grill.
A billboard reminds her of the Colorado mountains where her grandmother
was born. Still reeling from a funeral and a repossessed home, she moves to Ouray on a whim. But will the impetuous move prove courageous or rash?
In the historic mining town, she researches her ancestral history and discovers an unexpected skeleton dangling from the family tree. But that’s not the only surprise in store for Zal. She’s caught off guard by the attention of two unusual men and soon finds she has no clue how to be single again.
