flock of Butternut Creek Christian Church, Miss Birdie and her
friend Mercedes take it upon themselves to educate him on how
things should be done and to find him a wife. Adam isn't the only
new bachelor in town. Having lost his leg in the war in
Afghanistan, veteran marine Sam Peterson has come to live in his
late aunt's house. Dealing with post-traumatic stress and
depression, Sam wants to be left alone but the community of
Butternut Creek can't seem to do that. Between the matchmaking of
the Widows, the eager young minister and the two red-headed sons of
his beautiful physical therapist, Willow, playing in his yard, Sam
is soon drawn out of his self-induced solitude. Though he falls for
Willow, she's unlike any other woman he's pursued. Sam doesn't know
where his life is headed and Willow is afraid to commit herself and
two sons to another man after being betrayed by her first husband.

Experts have made a state-of-the-art survey of sources that are
important in counseling older persons, an increasingly important
segment of the nation's population. The population over age 65 in

compilation of 481 books, journal articles, dissertations, and
documents is organized into nine topical chapters and various
subsections dealing with the normative experiences of aging,
persons with impairments, needs and services, special situations,
counseling and counselors, ethics, practica and internships, and
pharmacology. Author and subject indexes make the guide easy for
academic and professional use in the fields of gerontology,
psychology, and adult education.
The Widows are very disappointed in Pastor Adam. Not only has he
not set a date for his nuptials, he hasn't even proposed. The
Widows' skills know no bounds, but even they find it difficult to
plan a wedding under those circumstances. Of course, what they
don't know is Adam has proposed to Gussie, but the couple is trying
to keep the engagement a secret - not easy in Butternut Creek.
Meanwhile, Adam's sister Hannah, a doctor, has returned from a
two-year trip to Kenya where she was working in refugee camps. She
is staying at the parsonage until she recovers from a bout of
malaria, and is having difficutly adjusting to life back in the US
after the horrors she's witnessed. Though physically weak, she
becomes animated when verbally sparring with Gabe Borden, her
adopted nephew Hector's high school basketball coach. The Widows
spot sparks of a different color between the two, and are soon up
to their matchmaking ways once again.
