It's a steamy June afternoon in Louisiana, circa 1956, and Sissy LeBlanc is sitting on her front porch, wondering - half seriously - if she could kill herself with aspirins and coca-cola. Sissy never imagined temptation would come into her life as she sat smoking a cigarette. Although she may have been fixated on the taut muscles of the lineman shimmying down the telephone pole across the street, she hadn't allowed herself to imagine that he'd be none other than her high school sweetheart, Parker Davidson, who left town fourteen years ago without so much as a wave goodbye. But suddenly here he is, standing in her very own kitchen, sipping Coke over cracked ice and leaning in for a kiss that will stir up more excitement than Sissy could ever have imagined.
