Will Heidi’s cooking lessons turn into life lessons for five unlikely students?
Heidi Troyer has a simple idea: open her Holmes County, Ohio, Amish home to outsiders and teach them the art of Amish cooking. What she does not expect is the five very different people who answer the advertisement — each one carrying a weight they did not plan to set down in someone else’s kitchen, and each one quietly, desperately seeking something they cannot quite name.
A woman on the edge of marriage. An expectant mother estranged from her family. A widowed mom trying to simplify her life. A Vietnam veteran who camps on the Troyer farm. An Amish widower still learning to live again. Five strangers. One kitchen. And a God who has a way of showing up in the most ordinary places.
Week by week, as bread rises and soup simmers, something else begins to happen. Class members share the details of their disappointing lives, work together to solve a mystery, and find that the warmth of a shared table has a way of softening even the hardest hearts. Heidi’s cooking lessons become life lessons — and souls are healed one meal at a time.
