As The World Churns

Description for AS THE WORLD CHURNS by Tamar Myers:

Mennonite innkeeper Magdalena Yoder is finally Magdalena Yoder Rosen -- but with a cow competition in Hernia causing a stampede of trouble, she's finding that married life isn't all cream....

Magdalena 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 annual Hernia Holstein Competition. But then someone clobbers the contest's originator, Doc Shafor, while he's admiring the cows, and Mags ends up in the hospital as well, when she faints at his bedside.

When Magdalena comes home, she finds that the competition has been cut short, and that both Gabe and her foster daughter, Alison, are missing. With the help of her best friend, Magdalena must separate the curds from the whey and track down clues until the cows -- and her family -- come home.
