Upon his arrival, Butternut Creek Christian Church's newly-
minted minister is met by a welcome committee led by Miss
Birdie and her friend Mercedes, a.k.a. "the Widows." Their
first order of business, to educate him on how things should
be done, quickly gives way to a campaign to find him a wife.
When their matchmaking efforts fizzle, the Widows turn to
another new bachelor. Amputee and Afghan vet Sam simply
wants to be left alone-- a desire that's as good as a red
flag to the Widows! Soon they're scheming to pair him up
with Willow, his beautiful physical therapist, a divorced
mother of two who is afraid of commitment, Perrine's small-
town tale is a big-time triumph of gentle humor, fast-paced
plot, and wonderfully engaging characters.
