August Barton thought his tribulations were over, but some truths are hard to swallow. He's been with Rose Varley for over a year, and has his heart set on taking the next step: a marriage proposal.

With his Grandma Gertie and mom off at a retreat in the Cayman Islands, the revelation Augie never prepared himself for was that, for once, he was going to have to figure it out all on his own.
