For Rosemary Reynolds, life in small Morning Glory, Mississippi, is just like the fabric shop she works: it appears she’s always waiting around for another person to help make the first stitch. A dear youth friend passes away, leaving behind something special that transmits Rosemary on the once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Despite her mother’s protests, Rosemary heads to New York City for a stay static in her cousin’s trendy SoHo loft. On her first day in town, a wrong turn leads her to Small Italy-and into the hands of good-looking, outgoing Sal Genovese. Sal’s mother desires him to marry a longtime family friend, but to him, Rosemary is normally a breathing of fresh country air flow, and he’s pleased to show her a good time. Shortly, Rosemary is swept up in a world she thought just existed in films. To carefully turn a two-week fling into a permanently thing, she and Sal must make every moment count.
