Synopsis

A fresh take on Emma set in 1930s Wisconsin—full of charm, mischief, and unexpected romance.When vivacious college student Melody Merriweather is summoned home to run her family's general store after her father suffers a heart attack, she's convinced her life is over. The sleepy mining town of Merriweather, Wisconsin is a far cry from her exciting life in Chicago.With the country deep in the Depression and the Mercantile on the verge of collapse, Melody must rally a quirky staff—including a sweet shopgirl, a cranky clerk, and a maddeningly handsome butcher—and try to keep the business afloat.But small-town life proves more complicated than she imagined. As tensions rise and mysterious strangers arrive in Merriweather, Melody finds herself confronting more than just a failing business. She’ll have to face her own misguided assumptions about love, loyalty, and what it means to truly belong.Filled with humor, heart, and vintage charm, Matched in Merriweather is perfect for fans of Natalie Jenner, Curtis Sittenfeld, and classic Jane Austen retellings.“A lovely retelling of Austen's EMMA, written with gorgeous prose and a compelling narrative that Janeites and historical fiction lovers will adore.”—Amazon Reviewer"This was the perfect escape read for me; loved every delightful and laugh-out-loud moment.
