Armed with a notebook and the determination of someone who's been kicked by one too many dairy cows, nearly sixteen-year-old Tabitha is interviewing all her aunts for their marriage secrets. She needs foolproof advice, a guaranteed formula, and absolutely no future involving 4 a.m. milking sessions. But her carefully planned interrogation of Aunt Honor gets derailed when Matthew and Grace Wilkes show up with their daughter, their worldly possessions, and a story that doesn't quite add up. Suddenly, Honor's kitchen is crowded with secrets nobody wants to talk about, Grace looks ready to bolt at any moment, and Matthew can't make eye contact with anyone. As Tabitha digs deeper into what makes marriages work (or spectacularly fall apart), she stumbles into family drama that makes her cow-avoidance plan look simple. Because in a small Amish community, some scandals never really die-they just wait for the worst possible moment to resurface. Welcome to Tabitha's complicated education in romance. A sweet, clean Amish romance full of family drama, buried secrets, and one girl's quest to avoid dairy farming forever. No cows were harmed in the making.
