After catching her wealthy husband with another woman, Adele loads up her two kids and her copper cookware, and heads south for Whiskey River, a small Texas town, to move back in with her parents. They're a pair of old pot smoking hippies who, quite frankly, are insane, and they lead her into all kinds of trouble. Add to that a wide array of the town's odd, quirky characters, that either help or hinder her in her efforts, this coming-of-age (again) story explores love, friendship, delicious food and the riches one can receive through family and community.
