Hang on to your hat Prissie is going to turn the quiet little town of Joslin, Texas into a three ring circus with the announcement of her upcoming divorce. You will be on the edge of your seat as men risk it all and women lose everything. Prissie's sister, Ali has carved herself a perfect little life with a lovely place for everything and everything in its proper place. That is until Prissie decides to divorce Larry Joe.
