Josie Wilder is an e【ZiYuanTun.Com】xecutive at the New York based marketing company, Best Foot Forward. Despite loving her family - she always having considered her sister Ellie her best friend - all who still live in their small hometown of New Hope, North Carolina, Josie rarely gets to see them as work always takes priority. Josie's planned trip home in a month's time happens earlier when Ellie and her husband Aaron are killed in a vehicle accident. While everyone in the family expects that Ellie, Josie and their tech brother Jeff's parents, restaurateurs Pete and Kate Wilder, will assume custody of Ellie and Aaron's two offspring, young teen Ben and tweener Delilah, Ellie and Aaron throw them all for a loop as they, without telling her or anyone else, have stipulated in their wills that they want Josie to have custody. Josie has to figure out why Ellie chose her to look after her children, she not the obvious choice to her or anyone else, especially Pete who has always seemed to resent Josie's choice to leave New Hope as quickly as possible when she became of age. It is also not obvious to either Ben or Delilah, who, while still loving their aunt, always negatively define her in terms of "the city" i.e. New York, when anything goes wrong in her attempted parenting of them in their grief. It is especially difficult for more sensitive Ben who is going through his first case of puppy love for a classmate, Lily, from who he is not certain if the feelings are returned. Beyond her family, helping Josie figure things out is Cooper Avchen, her high school sweetheart and Delilah's basketball coach, he only having recently returned to town after being away in "the city" like Josie, in his case Atlanta. 译文(3): Josie Wilder是总部位于纽约的营销公司Best Foot Forward的高{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。尽管乔西爱她的家人——她一直认为她的妹妹艾莉是她最好的朋友——所有人仍然住在他们的小家乡北卡罗来纳州的新希望，但她很少见到他们，因为工作总是优先考虑的。乔西计划在一个月后回家的行程发生在早些时候，当时艾莉和她的丈夫亚伦在一场车祸中丧生。虽然家里的每个人都希望Ellie、Josie和他们的科技兄弟Jeff的父母，餐馆老板Pete和Kate Wilder，将接管Ellie和Aaron的两个孩子，即青少年Ben和tweener Delilah的监护权，但Ellie和亚伦在没有告诉她或其他人的情况下，在遗嘱中规定他们希望Josie拥有监护权，所以他们把他们全部抛弃了。乔西必须弄清楚为什么艾莉选择她来照顾她的孩子，她不是她或其他人的明显选择，尤其是皮特，他似乎一直对乔西成年后尽快离开新希望的选择感到不满。这对本或黛利拉来说也不明显，他们虽然仍然爱他们的姑姑，但总是用“；城市“；也就是纽约，当她在悲痛中试图养育他们的过程中出现任何问题时。对于更敏感的本来说，这尤其困难，因为他正在经历他对同学莉莉的第一次早恋，他不确定这种感情是否会得到回报。除了她的家人，帮助乔西解决问题的是她的高中恋人、黛利拉的篮球教练库珀·阿夫琴，他最近才在“；城市“；就像乔西一样，在亚特兰大。
