Lavina, alias Nana, Spencer's impulsive middle-of-the-night e-mail to her grandson's place of work sets off a chain reaction that moves her from her beloved ten acres in the country to a grand mansion in the city. She begins an adventure of God's making that eventually draws her whole family, and many others, down new paths. With her Bible-based theories of business offered to Harlan Morgan the Fourth, who is desperately trying, as the fourth generation, to save the family business he inherited on the death of his father, these two, one old and astute and the other young and inexperienced, begin following the path God has set before them, with nothing but their faith that He has put them together and that Nana's theories will turn the business around. Elizabeth, the almost-an-architect granddaughter and beautiful watchdog over her much-loved Nana, quickly captures Harlan's grieving heart with her gentle compassion for him and joins them on the path laid out before them; and, along with her brother, Ben, the struggling grandson whose family was at the center of Nana's concerned e-mail, they soon gather others around them and into the Lord's master plan. Joined by the company's board members; by Arleta, a refugee from violent gangs in Mexico; by Jack, the old Norwegian and brilliant co-conspirator in making Harlan a "big executive"; by the company's resident atheist and fellow opera lover, Tony; and finally by her missionary son, Peter, and daughter-in-law, Jen, Nana becomes the central figure in the drama that unfolds as the Lord works in each life for his purpose. Through much joy and some sorrow, they are all led by the Lord's hand to an "expected end" (Jeremiah 29:11).

Ideals and reality collide when six college friends band together to start an ice cream store, promising "Better Food for a Better World," but finding a worse world than they had expected. It seems like a great idea: six friends from college pool their money and energy to start an ice cream store. Natural High Ice Cream: Better Food for a Better World. It's high-minded, with a wink, like the marital self-help group they all belong to. The store finds a ready clientele in its northern California college town filled with amiable ex-hippies who are happy to contribute to a better world, even if all they have to contribute is the price of an ice cream cone. But the store, like the marriage group, turns out to be work, not fun, and rifts start to appear between the friends. Nancy, who had seemed so easygoing and sweetly sexy when they started, turns stern. Cecilia, who had wanted to be a musician, is openly bored. And flighty, excitable Vivy is crawling out of her skin. She yearns for the old days, before Natural High, when she and her husband Sam traveled around the country with countercultural musicians and dancers. She'd give anything to have those days back again. And so quietly, without telling the partners, she starts to rev up the old company, contacting her old acts--the fat contortionist, the muscle-bound juggler. She's going to save them all, and Natural High, too. But saving turns out to be harder than it looks, and Vivy isn't the only one with secrets.

It isn’t until Mr. KanSu’s death that PeggySu learns the truth that her mother had been killed in a car bomb that day in Hong Kong. Her father didn’t want her to be frightened, so he told her that her mother had a car accident, Commander Lee had lots of secrets; some were national security, some to allow loved ones to sleep at night.
