When an old church is torn down in the small Florida town of Toad Springs, a trunk full of stories written by the inhabitants in the 1930s is discovered in the attic.

You’ll meet Midge and Smitty Mallet, who end up in Toad Springs after being led astray by one of the Tennessee binder boys, Chuck Barber and his plans to get rich starting up a “game of chance,” and Ginger Perkins who, after being jealous for years of her best friend’s successful singing career, learns to be careful what you ask for.
