Storyline
Willowdean Will Dickson grows up in a small Texas town, raised primarily by her Aunt Lucy. Her mother Rosie – who calls her Dumplin’, much to Will’s chagrin – is a former beauty queen, too committed to various pageants to spend time with her daughter, and remains the planner of the town’s annual Miss Teen Bluebonnet Pageant.
