The battle for the soul of Johnson Station, Iowa, is far from over. With the librarian Gracie gone, the old guard thinks their power over the town is secure. But then Jackie joins the revolution Gracie started (Gracie's Revolution: A Johnson Station Novel), signing on as campaign manager for historian and old flame, Armand, in his race for mayor, and change starts to appear unstoppable. A talented English teacher looking for meaningful retirement, Jackie now has a chance to help forge a brighter future for the town, but it will mean postponing the inevitable end to her marriage, keeping her sons' troubles quiet, and hiding her identity as the town blogger. On top of that, she and Armand can't let anyone know their true relationship until the election is over. An FBI raid on town hall, a drug arrest, and a negative newspaper article threaten Jackie and Armand's success, and make Jackie question whether she really is the brave heroine she was once declared to be. Can she regain her confidence in time to help Johnson Station survive, or will the challenges she faces finally prove she's been overestimated all this time?
