"Rhett Smith's inspirational book, The Modern Pioneer Girl--written under a pseudonym--has become a wild success, so much so that in a moment of panic, self-doubting Rhett persuades her best friend Jasmine to step into the limelight as the famed author. But their prank turns into something more when the controlling mother Rhett hasn't seen in two decades announces her intent to sell the farm Rhett loves and expected to make her own.
