Summary

Mary, an orphan high school student, lives with her home-bound grandmother. Granny runs a bakery from her busy kitchen. Mary delivers food to the neighbors, and longs to be one of the Highlights, a snobbish girls' club at school. One Saturday, Mary has a visitor. Penny, president of the Highlights, shows up to "shadow" Mary. Prospective members have to be approved by Penny in order to be accepted into the club. Mrs. Hayes and her young son, Andy, visit Granny's kitchen regularly. Andy hasn't spoken a word in years since his father died. The boy has wild tantrums, and he's in the middle of one when Penny arrives. It's puppy love at first sight when Andy sees Penny. She doesn't hide her fearful dislike for Andy or her superiority complex. Things do not look hopeful for Mary's joining the Highlights, and complications come when there is conflict between Mary’s values and those of the Highlights.

Summary

Linda O’Neill, the founder and owner of Just Like New, a chain of second-hand clothing stores, discovers that a condominium towers building is being planned for the location of one of her stores. The development is the pet project of developer Raina Whitman who will stop at nothing, including bribes, dirty tricks and spiteful tactics to pursue her idea of urban renewal. Through her faith in God and the support of Jake, her husband, O’Neill opposes the new development, persevering through all of Whitman’s tactics to push her out early. When it looks like the development will be approved, O’Neill tells her husband she feels God is leading her to set up a face-to-face meeting with Whitman to explain why the development isn’t needed. Following the sounds of separate car accidents, the two women meet in what O’Neill suggests is a “waiting room” between heaven and hell.
