A traumatic experience as a college freshman has left Gussie
Milton 'once bitten, twice shy.' Although she'd like a
relationship, she's frightened, so she's thrown herself into
caring for her aging parents, her photography business, and
her church. In the eyes of Miss Birdie and her friend
Mercedes, aka 'the Widows,' Gussie would make their young
pastor the perfect wife. And though the attraction proves
mutual, first Gussie's past and then the pastor's hopes for
the future threaten to keep them apart. Can the Widows'
meddling be the catalyst that changes the couple's lives
forever?
