Meet Pastor Maggie Elzinga. Twenty-six and single, Maggie has just graduated from seminary and received a call to pastor a church in the town of Cherish, Michigan. Idealistic and enthusiastic, Maggie jumps in with both feet. Supporting her is Hank, her assistant (not secretary!); Irena the brilliant music director from Romania who dresses in vibrant colors and plunging necklines; Mrs. Abernathy, the resident-know-it-all; and Ed, her mentor from seminary and her biggest cheerleader. Maggie encounters her first funeral (for a not-so-loved man who choked on a chicken bone), discovers her tendency to rescue motherless kittens (which doesn't go well with living in the parsonage), and learns that being a part of a community can be simultaneously suffocating and life-giving.
