The story: Ren is afraid her family is about to fall apart--kind of like the tiny town of Fortune, Mississippi: once the pearl button capital of the world, now practically a ghost town. Angry at her mother, Ren runs away from home and hides out at the old/new bed and breakfast hotspot known as the "former Fortune Consolidated School" where she finds a lot more than she ever expected...just as proprietor Hildy's life work seems to be falling apart. Can Ren and her new friends find the treasure hidden so long ago and save Hildy from ruin?

Liz's comments: Here's a gentle tale that will have readers rooting for Ren, her family, old lady Hildy, and even cute-but-kind-of-stuck-up Tucker (Hildy's grandson). Proof that you don't need sex, drugs, or rock-and-roll to tell a good story.
