Storyline

Amy Fox has always had a passion for writing and it shows in her work. With a hit new addition to her popular book series about to be released, Amy gets an urgent call that she needs to come home because her grandfather, Tom, has had a minor injury. Tom is a proud man and a staple of the community. He prides himself on his business, Pumpkin Everything, that he has poured his heart and soul into. He knows that getting old is inevitable but he's not ready to move on past the life that he is leading. Aside from an abundance of love, that stubborn pride is something that he and Amy share. Tom has always hoped that Amy would take over the family business and hasn't put much thought or attention into her passion of writing. Conversely, Amy can't understand why Tom won't accept that he is getting older and now needs help with the things he was once so independent with. With the Foliage Festival just around the corner, can Amy and Tom put themselves in each others shoes long enough to get over their own hurdles?

Now that he's getting older, the upkeep of both life and business have become increasingly more challenging. Stubborn and often times set in his way, his granddaughter Amy is having a hard time convincing him to make the next steps in life. Tom has always seen Amy being the one to take over the business but when her passions pull her in another direction, he has a hard time letting go of his disappointment instead of really truly supporting her in her own adventure. When Tom listens to the trusted words of his surprising successor, he finally can see how amazing his granddaughter Amy really is and is able to make the decision on his own terms to take the next step in his life's journey.
