| Abstract |
Magdalena Yoder marries a Jewish doctor from New York and emcees a Bedford cow competition. Booklist notes, “Inevitable culture clash between Myers’ Amish heroine and her New York Jewish husband and her stereotypical mother-in-law offers plenty of humorous byplay. Ice-cream recipes weave their way into Myers' tale, ranging from homey butter pecan to decidedly un-Amish avocado flavors.”

| Author Biography |
Tamar Myers (1948— ), born and raised by Mennonite missionary parents in the Belgian Congo, arrived in the United States at age 16. As a college student she began to submit novel manuscripts for publication; 23 years later Too Many Crooks, her first, was published by Doubleday. Her other mystery series takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she now lives with her husband and pets. “She and her husband are of the Jewish faith,” says the HarperCollins author web page, “the animals are not.”
