"1970s, Southern Alabama. Sixty-two-year-old Jeremiah Lewis Taylor, or Nub, has spent his whole life listening to those he loves tell him he's no good -- first his ex-wife, now his always-disapproving daughter. Sure, his escapades have made him, along with his cousin and perennial sidekick, Benny, just a smidge too familiar with small-town law enforcement, but he's never harmed anyone -- except perhaps himself. Nub never meant to change his ways, but when he and fifteen-year-old Waffle House waitress Minnie form an unlikely friendship, he realizes for the first time that there may be some good in him after all. Six-foot-five Minnie has been dealt a full deck of bad luck -- her father is a convicted murderer serving a life sentence, her mother is dead and buried, and she has a Grand Ole Opry worthy singing voice with no place to perform. Oh, and there's the small fact that she's unexpectedly pregnant, courtesy of a no-good high-school boy. Gradually, Nub realizes the gift he's been given: a second chance to make a difference."--
