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 heads up a crew of dedicated do-gooders bent on
saving the Bottom Dollar from the fate of spare change. But when her 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.
