Welcome to the Bottom Dollar Emporium of Cayboo Creek, South Carolina, where everything from coconut mallow cookies to Clabber Girl Baking Powder costs only a dollar, and coffee and gossip are free.
For Elizabeth, Mavis, and Attalee, the Bottom Dollar Girls, logging nine to five at the Bottom Dollar is not just work time, it’s family time. So when news gets out that the Super Saver Dollar Store chain plans to set up shop and run the Bottom Dollar out of town, things go cattywampus. Manager Elizabeth, who has a good head for business even though she flunked pin curling in beauty school, teams up with a crew of dedicated do-gooders bent on saving the Bottom Dollar from the fate of spare change. But when Elizabeth’s unlikely new love interest, who also happens to be Cayboo Creek’s wealthiest bachelor, pitches woo, out come some startling revelations about her past that turn life more than a little interesting for all her friends and neighbors.
Serving up heaping portions of small-town wit and Southern cadence, Bet Your Bottom Dollar crackles with more secrets than a slumber party.
