He Wanted Perfection—Until Love Taught Him Grace.

Sawyer Miller has everything arranged just the way he likes it. He lives in the comfortable daadihaus beside his parents’ home, enjoys meals in his mother’s kitchen, and depends on her steady care more than he wants to admit. A wife might be nice someday—but only if she measures up to the woman who has always looked after him best. Then Sawyer meets Alma Kauffman, a bright, outgoing young woman whose smile captures his attention and whose spirit makes him feel alive. Alma is warm, fun-loving, and sincere. . .but she does not cook, clean, or organize like Sawyer’s mother. When Alma learns he has been comparing her to impossible expectations, her heart breaks and she walks away. Only after Sawyer meets a woman who is exactly what he thought he wanted does he realize the truth: he does not need another mother. He needs the courage to love Alma for who she is—and the humility to ask for a second chance.
