What happens when a carefree, light-hearted, and fun-loving woman who enjoys her simple life down in the French Quarter finds her world suddenly turned upside down and plopped in a pile of black gold? She rises to the occasion, of course! Mrs. Eustacia Candy Petit of New Orleans is accustomed to socializing within the circles of her boarding house on Cairo Street-nothing too fancy or refined. However, when a significant amount of oil is discovered on her husband's property in Bogalusa, Louisiana, Mrs. Candy finds herself launched into the heart of New Orleans society. She must learn to adapt to her new surroundings without disappointing her friends, who are worried she won't be the same. With a personality as sweet as a beignet and as vibrant as a jazz band on a Saturday night, Mrs. Candy soon finds a new place as queen of the Mardi Gras krewe Circe and as the recipient of countless party invitations. Drama ensues both within her new social circle and with her friends from Cairo Street. But Mrs. Candy handles everything that comes her way with poise, grace, and a smile, as she always does, and shows her friends that her heart is big enough for everyone and just as warm as it has always been.
