Every other Friday, Edna Esh and three of her childhood friends meet to bake sugar cookies for their respective church districts on worship Sunday. Itβs a time to give to the Plain communityβand give support to each other as they share their joys and fears . . .
Ednaβs friend, Verna Bontrager, has a problem. Her outspoken twenty-year-old daughter, Myrna, has been fired from her job. Again. Myrnaβs family really needs her to chip in, but sheβs clearly unsuited to customer serviceβnot to mention that her sharp tongue scares away any boy who might come courting. But Edna has an ideaβand 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. Itβs no surprise Myrna takes an immediate dislike to him. Yet she has no choice but to take on the challengeβand soon she starts to create order out of chaos. In fact, the kids begin to depend on Myrnaβand so does Ezekiel. The truth is, sheβs fallen in love with him. But if heβs to prove heβs not looking for a marriage of convenience, heβll have to convince her of whatβs in his heart . . .
