Publisher Description

Welcome to the Bottom Dollar Emporium of Cayboo Creek, South Carolina, where everything from coconut mallow cookies to Clabber Girl Baking Powder costs only a dollar, and coffee and gossip are free. For Elizabeth, Mavis, and Attalee, the Bottom Dollar Girls, logging nine to five at the Bottom Dollar is not just work time, it’s family time. So when news gets out that the Super Saver Dollar Store chain plans to run the Bottom Dollar out of town, things go cattywampus. Manager Elizabeth heads up a crew of dedicated do-gooders bent on saving the Bottom Dollar from the fate of spare change. But when her unlikely new love interest, who also happens to be Cayboo Creek’s wealthiest bachelor, pitches woo, out come some startling revelations about her past that turn life more than a little interesting for all her friends and neighbors.

"I didn't expect much from this book, but I was suprisingly engaged. The characters are colorful, and the atmosphere--a small Southern town--is picturesqe. Nothing learned, really, but I enjoyed it, and I'll probably look up the rest of the series."

— Laura (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “The characters are the kind of steel magnolias who would make Scarlett O’Hara envious.”

    — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
  • “Laugh out loud…This perfect summer read [will] find permanent beach-house residence.”

    — Richmond Times-Dispatch
  • “This heartwarming story will make you feel that you’ve made new friends and found a new neighborhood to visit. Carrington MacDuffie’s charming and sweet Southern drawl adds to the hominess and appeal of each character…The only problem with this audiobook is that it ends too soon!”

    — AudioFile
  • “Romance in strange packages is only one of the many surprises in this charming Cinderella story about a feisty ‘princess’ who fights dragons (big business) and wins hearts. Brace for a wild ride chock-full of southern wit and down-home advice from a clutch of quirky characters you will hope to see again soon.”

    " This book is quite comical and would be much easier to listen to if the narrator wasn't mispronouncing the city named Augusta the entire time. She pronounces it as if she is just adding an 'a' to the end of the word August. My slight OCD made this very annoying for me. It's strange that no one in the production of this audiobook knew the correct way to say Augusta. A tiny bit of research would have gone a long way here. "
