"Edna Miller is a capable, strong-minded woman who tackles every task with efficiency and determination. She loves going from home to home, caring for new mothers and their infants, cleaning houses, making delicious meals for families who need a little support while they adjust to life with a new baby. But sometimes, despite her best efforts to be content with her career as a maud, she wonders what it would be lie to hold her own baby, to experience the joys and mysteries of marriage for herself, to have a home of her own to clean and decorate. But she's never even been asked for a date and given that she's already twenty-nine years old, she tries to accept her destiny as a single woman. When she receives a letter from her longtime crush, Emery Hoschtetler, she can hardly believe it! Everything is coming together--God is rewarding her patience! No other man had ever made her feel the way she felt around Emery--that incredible floating feeling as if she was walking on air, mixed with a painful desperation to be ever nearer to him. But what if Emery isn't the man Edna was so sure he was? Is there something he's hiding, or is Edna simply unable to accept ture love after so many years of waiting? Would God really lead her all this way, just to leave her alone again?
