DING, DONG, THE RICH MAN'S DEAD

In Chittenango New York, birthplace of L. Frank Baum, no one is more Oz-centric than single mother South MacKenzie, owner of Yellow Brick Road Tours. South loves spending her days surrounded by all things Oz but finds her inner Wicked Witch is unleashed whenever she must hand her baby Tucker over to his child care provider, Nita.
The sudden death of Nita’s evil landlord husband leaves few in town mourning, but no one is prepared for the truth when South finds evidence that he was murdered. South soon finds herself battling feelings of maternal inadequacy as she seeks to prove her child care provider is not a murderer, blasting the time-stealers that are preventing her from preparing for her business accreditation visit, and banging up against a totally inappropriate attraction to her next door neighbor, Reverend Scott Sullivan, a/k/a the Holy Hottie.
