Essie Spreckelmeyer has endured thirty years, and has, in many of the townspeople’s minds, failed to catch a husband. Impatience leads her to try and give God a helping hand with the project. Listing the attributes and drawbacks of the eligible men in her small home town of
Corsicana, Texas, she randomly picks the first one her finger lands on and sets out on the mission of seizing herself a man.
What follows in a hilarious dose of Essie’s outgoing and somewhat unconventional personality on the men of Corsicana. From her ability to catch snakes, or flying through town on her bicycle, the local residents get a glimpse of Essie as well as her ankles!
What starts out as a mission to get what she has longed for, Essie journey’s through a painful chapter in her life leads to decisions she will come to regret, and find peace with.
