The Great Cookie War

Beth’s predictable life in her Mennonite family is disrupted by a cross-border cookie war!

Life in her traditional Mennonite community is peaceful if a little dull for twelve-year-old Beth who dreams of being an artist. She goes to school, helps with the cooking and cleaning at home, and works with her parents at the Saturday farmer’s market.

One Saturday, however, excitement shows up in the form of a determined lawyer from New York who insists she needs a family cookie recipe to win a million-dollar lawsuit. Beth’s parents are bemused, but her grandmother is equally determined that the recipe will not leave her kitchen. As she tries to balance her love for her family and her faith with the promises of adventure New York could bring to her future, Beth learns that she is stronger than she believes. And sometimes, adventures happen close to home.
