Welcome to the small town of Chinkapin, Georgia, where newly-divorced Laurie Lanton is starting her new life in a warmer climate. To keep her mind off her ex, Laurie joins Mary and the other volunteers at the Treasure Chest, a charity thrift shop run by "St. Mark's Across from the Tasty Chick." Anything can happen at the Treasure Chest - and does. Two robberies, a leaky roof, and an invasion of mice give Laurie plenty to think about. But a couple of new men have also caught her attention.
Chase, the interesting and talented new member of St. Mark's choir, sure is easy to be with, but there's something in his past no one wants to talk about. And just when things are heating up between Chase and Laurie, she overhears something that throws their relationship into doubt.
Jeff, the charming painting instructor at the local arts center, seems to have a few secrets of his own, including something he discovers about an old painting at the thrift shop.
Laurie soon learns just how important the Treasure Chest is to her new hometown. When disaster threatens to close the shop, will her "super power" be enough to save it? And if not, what will happen to St. Mark's?

Welcome back to Chinkapin, Georgia, where Laurie and Chase are living happily ever after - or are they? He's awfully busy with work, and Laurie's either out with her friend Mary or chasing down another freelance article for the "Journal." Will they ever get engaged?
Laurie tells Chase there's no need to be jealous when he sees her around town with the owner of a new bookstore. But considering what Chase's last wife put him through, it's no wonder he has trust issues.
And Laurie learns that ex-husbands cast long shadows. She can't take her own advice when she finds out about Chase's secret meetings with a strange woman.
Meanwhile, you'll never guess what turns up at the Treasure Chest thrift shop this time. Is it worth a fortune? Or worthless? Laurie is determined to find out. She still enjoys working at the shop, but a couple of the volunteers sure are being difficult. No one knows when Alice will show up for work, and Laurie wishes Evelyn wouldn't show up so often. Tensions are almost at the boiling point, which means it could get uncomfortable at St. Mark's.
