In high school Delilah Massey was that girl--wild as a Texas tornado, she would do anything on a dare. Brody Dawson had always been attracted to the blonde firecracker and every mother in Happy, Texas, Brody's included, was glad to see her leave town. The same weekend that she left, old man Henry Thomas disappeared and hasn't been seen or heard from since. Talk had it for a while that there was something fishy in the way that they'd both disappeared. Twelve years later, Brody walks into the only café in Happy and Lila is behind the counter. All the old red-hot feelings surface when their eyes lock over the display of doughnuts. Lila quickly finds out that those years had not erased what she feels when Brody Dawson kisses her. But they'd better not get too attached because she's only in town for the summer and there's no way he's going to leave the largest ranch in the county.

In 1913, little Malka Treynovsky flees Russia with her family. Bedazzled by tales of gold and movie stardom, she tricks them into buying tickets for America. Yet no sooner do they land on the squalid Lower East Side of Manhattan, than Malka is crippled and abandoned in the street. Taken in by a tough-loving Italian ices peddler, she manages to survive through cunning and inventiveness. As she learns the secrets of his trade, she begins to shape her own destiny. She falls in love with a gorgeous, illiterate radical named Albert, and they set off across America in an ice cream truck. Slowly, she transforms herself into Lillian Dunkle, "The Ice Cream Queen" -- doyenne of an empire of ice cream franchises and a celebrated television personality. Lillian's rise to fame and fortune spans seventy years and is inextricably linked to the course of American history itself, from Prohibition to the disco days of Studio 54. Yet Lillian Dunkle is nothing like the whimsical motherly persona she crafts for herself in the media. Conniving, profane, and irreverent, she is a supremely complex woman who prefers a good stiff drink to an ice cream cone. And when her past begins to catch up with her, everything she has spent her life building is at stake.
