Joy Petermeyer took to the Amish wise woman, Adalheida Wasser, right off. When the elderly woman wasn't feeling well Joy volunteered to do her chores which consisted of a menagerie of wild animals and four expecting quarter horses. When it looked like her health might not improve Adalheida was adamant that she make Joy her hired hand and pay her. At home, Aunt Tootie is in a dither again. A woman she's known for years comes to visit from Titonka, Iowa. Bernice Wittstone is bossy and particular. She's also nosy. Wait until you see the fuss she causes at Stella Strutt's quilting bee. Deacon Yutzy owns land next to Adalheida and rents her farm. The land-hungry Deacon wants to buy her land. She isn't about to sell. The man would clear out timber where her beloved wild animals live and turn the land into crop ground. The deacon becomes impatient with Adalheida and has her served with papers for an incompetency hearing. It's up to wise woman's friends, Joy and a neighboring farmer/lawyer to save Adalheida from the nursing home. Those who know her will tell you that You Have Got To Love Adalheida Wasser.
