Plot Summary of Country Boy, City Girl
"Ronnie Hawthorn has found peace at last in the Missouri Ozarks town of Green Springs, excited at the prospect of running her own arts-and-crafts store in an old farm house. But when "city girl" Ronnie "falls" into her handsome neighbor's arms, she is surprised to discover that "country boy" Dave Darden is one of the most eligible bachelors in America. An earthquake, rumbling deep inside a cavern, brings the two together--but will Dave's meddling in Ronnie's business activities only drive them apart?
