With a friend like Claire, you'll need a gurney, a mop, and a guardian angel

Chapel Springs Revival

Everybody in the small town of Chapel Springs, Georgia, knows best friends Claire Bennett and Patsy Kowalski. It's impossible not to, what with Claire's zany antics and Patsy's self-appointed mission to keep her friend out of trouble. And trouble abounds.

During an early morning discussion at Dees 'n' Doughs bakery with their ladies group, all Chapel Springs entrepreneurs, attention is drawn to the slackened tourist trade. With their livelihoods threatened, they join forces to address the town's revitalization in hopes of drawing back the tourists. No one could have guessed the real issue needing restoration is their marriages.

Claire, a pottery artist, stumbles through life, usually with her foot in her mouth. When she became a Christian, she thought life and her marriage would be included in the new creation part. But her thighs are just as big and her husband, Joel, is as ornery as ever. She's become nothing more than a sheet-changer, a towel-folder, a pancake-flipper. Her life is just humdrum and she's tired of being taken for granted.

Patsy has plans for her empty nest, plans that include a cruise ship. However, her husband, Nathan, continues to work long hours, and he's not talking about slowing down. In fact, he's not talking much at all. She's asleep long before he comes home each night. At first she thought it was just because of tax season, but now she's not so sure. Something other than work seems to keep him late at the office every night. With the lines of communication closed, she'll have to find another way to reach him.

With their marriages as much in need of restoration as the town, Claire and Patsy embark on a mission of mishaps and miscommunication, determined to restore warmth to Chapel Springs —and their lives. That is if they can convince their husbands and the town council, led by two curmudgeons who would prefer to see Chapel Springs left in the fifties and closed to traffic.

Chapel Springs Survival

Tourism has picked up in Chapel Springs, but now the village is overrun with strangers. There are only two Bed & Breakfast Inns, one small motel, and a dozen bungalows. The town residents draw the line at campers in the Springs Park. Something has to be done, but do they want a large hotel built in their once peaceful little mountain town? 

When Lacy Dawson receives facial reconstruction after a terrible accident, she awakes with a new face. Plain Lacy is now man-stopping gorgeous, and her husband, Jake, loves her new look. Had he fallen out of love with her old one? Used to walking around unnoticed and unappreciated, Lacy is now surrounded by people clamoring for her attention, including her boss. New doors are open to her, but what will it cost her to walk through them?

Lydia Smith had finally made peace with being a widow. Never expecting to fall in love again, she took advantage of the town's restorative warm springs and opened a health spa. Then she met Chet, and the widow-on-the-hill became a blushing bride. But when his daughter and son-in-law move in with their brand new baby, followed by Chet's lazy son, Lydia got more than she bargained for.

Claire Bennett’s youngest son, Wesley, is engaged. Claire should be happy, but his bride-to-be is an Internet mail-order bride from a foreign country, and her son is too young to marry in her opinion. Wesley's determination to travel to his fiancée's hometown to get married will leave Claire and Joel out of the picture and her blaming Joel for their son's stubbornness.

Chapel Springs Recycle

Howie Newlander left Chapel Springs to make his fortune. Now he's back with big ideas for this backwater village, which include becoming mayor with a "Go Green" campaign. Once in office, he'll implement the new environmental laws and collect the windfall tax benefits. When it comes time to refurbish the springs, will the funds be available, or did they end up in Howie's own coffers?

High School sweethearts, Dee Lindstrom, who owns Dees 'n' Doughs bakery, and Ed Belford went to different colleges and married other people. When Chapel Springs Community Church hosts a retreat, Dee, a single mom, runs into Ed, now a widower. A spark ignites their old flame—and a blaze of rebellion in their children. As they recycle their old love, can they overcome their children's animosity?

Claire Bennett’s daughter Melissa is in love with her old high school sweetheart. There's only one problem, well two, really. His father is Claire's nemesis—that crusty old curmudgeon, the town council president. The second problem Claire knows all too well—the boy isn't a believer. After all the trouble she went through waiting for her husband, Joel, to finally became a Christian, Claire can't believe Melissa is considering marriage.
