But Josie wants to stay in her California hometown and take over the family business, Hazeldine Honey. So that college acceptance her mom is thrilled about? Yeah, Josie turned it down. But she's going to come clean--just not yet. <p/>The neighbor's artsy, adorable grandson who's in town for the summer makes Josie's web of lies even more tangled.
