Meet the Parker Women...Donna and Evelyn, two fifty-something sisters who live in the small town of Moonbeam on the lovely Moonbeam Bay. Evelyn is known for her culinary skills and orchestrating every charity event that crosses her path.

Donna's daughter, Olivia, helps out at the store and has big plans for it--if Donna would ever give her a chance to implement any of them. Evelyn's daughter, Heather, is a well-known illustrator who pops into town now and again--just what is she hiding from? Then there is the matriarch of the family, Patricia. She's rather--difficult.
