With the last of her children in preschool, Tamara decides to make a business out of her long-time love of creating designer gift baskets.

She won't have time to take care of the family. Worse, maybe she won't need him anymore. Although they'd agreed years before that their family was complete, Robert considers that perhaps the cure for Tamara's restlessness is another baby. Tamara prays for wisdom. All she wants is a small space of time for herself. Is she being selfish? Or is God leading her to continue being an outdated model of the Proverbs 31 wife-submissive, but never equal?
