Every other Friday, Edna Esh and three of her childhood
friends meet to bake sugar cookies for their respective
church districts on worship Sunday. It’s a time to give to
the Plain community—and give support to each other as they
share their joys and fears . . .
Edna’s friend, Verna Bontrager, has a problem. Her outspoken
twenty-year-old daughter, Myrna, has been fired from her
job. Again. Myrna’s family really needs her to chip in, but
she’s clearly unsuited to customer service—not to mention
that her sharp tongue scares away any boy who might come
courting. But Edna has an idea—and his name is Ezekiel Riehl.
A widower with four young children, Ezekiel needs help. His
house and his brood are a mess; his demeanor is gruff. It’s
no surprise Myrna takes an immediate dislike to him. Yet she
has no choice but to take on the challenge—and soon she
starts to create order out of chaos. In fact, the kids begin
to depend on Myrna—and so does Ezekiel. The truth is, she’s
fallen in love with him. But if he’s to prove he’s not
looking for a marriage of convenience, he’ll have to
convince her of what’s in his heart . . .
