Description

Newly installed at All Souls Lutheran, Mallory 'Pastor Pete' Peterson soon realises that her church isnt merely going through turbulent waters, but is a sinking ship. With the help of five loyal members of the Naomi Circle, the young, bold minister brainstorms fundraising ideas. They all agree that the usual recipe book wont add much to the parish coffers, but maybe one with all the ingredients on how to heat up relationships rather than casseroles will

Pastor Pete has her doubts about the project, but it turns out the group of postmenopausal women has a lot to say on the subject of romance. While Charlene, the youngest member at fifty-two, struggles with the assignment, baker-extraordinaire Marlys, elegantly bohemian Bunny, Im-always-right Velda, and ebullient Edie take up their contributions enthusiastically. After all, their book is really about cooking up love in all its forms.

But not everyone in the congregation is on board with this 'scandalous' project. As the voices of opposition grow louder, Pastor Pete and these intrepid women will have to decide how hard theyre willing to fight for this book and the powerful stories within stories of discovery, softened hearts, and changed lives.
