Plot Synopsis

Amy Peterson is a big-city journalist who thought she needed to ditch the small town where she grew up in order to live a happy and fulfilled life. Only it isn't turning out that way. She has a high-powered writing job at the "Chicago Post" and a boyfriend named Phil who looks like he just stepped off a GQ cover. When circulation at the "Chicago Post" starts to wane, her editor sends her back to her hometown to write a Fourth of July human-interest article about growing up in her parents' fireworks business. No sooner should she arrive home than her best pal, Sammie, commandeers her to be the official planner of her Fourth of July wedding to of all people -- Amy's ex-boyfriend, Hank. As she struggles to cater to Sallie's wedding demands and work on her newspaper assignment, her feelings for Hank start to resurface. Maybe she can find the real happiness she's been missing right in her own back yard.
