Daisy longs to shine as the angel in the town’s Christmas parade. But once again, her sister gets the wings, and Daisy is left with scratchy burlap as Shepherd #3—alongside her wiggly cat Socks. Meanwhile, in the workshop, new clay nativity pieces are being sculpted by the Potter’s hand—each one unique, never made from a mold. Daisy begins to discover that being a shepherd is more than a background part. It points to the Good Shepherd Himself, born that first Christmas night.

Daisy didn’t mean to break Grandpa’s special purple plates, playing with Socks in the Potter’s shop. But one small mistake leads to a big crash—and an even bigger mess of guilt. As tears fall and Daisy hides away, she fears nothing can ever fix what’s been ruined. But Grandpa the Potter sees something more.

Tucked away on Peppertree Lane, a Potter spins his wheel and shapes a tiny bowl who wonders why she doesn’t shine like the others. From her very first spin on the wheel, Little Bowl feels different. Not colorful. Not shiny. Not special. But the Potter isn’t finished yet. With every press of the Potter’s hand, every swirl of his brush, and every trip through the fire, Little Bowl grows closer to a special surprise. She was never just another bowl.

Written during a long wait, this book opens up Cheryl's painfully honest, personal journals. She explores what it's like to enlist in God's Marriage Boot Camp, and how to survive singlehood year after solitary year. She wrestles with her Creator over multiple best friends that never see her "that way." Then there are those lists of what she wanted - you know, the ones she revised a billion times then laminated for safekeeping. She watches, bewildered, as much younger women find love that seems to elude her.
