Mennonite innkeeper Magdalena Yoder may be married to big-time Manhattan doctor Gabriel Rosen, but she¿s still a small-town girl with an eye for an udder, and thrilled to be the emcee for the first Hernia Holstein Competition. But then someone clobbers the contest¿s originator and Magdalena ends up in the hospital as well, when she faints at his bedside. Gabriel gamely agrees to stand in as emcee. But when Magdalena recovers, she finds that the competition has been cut short, and that both Gabriel and her foster daughter are missing. With the help of her best friend, Magdalena begins to separate the curds from the whey, and vows to track down clues until the cows -- and her family -- come home. With more than a half dozen tasty recipes!
