The Lack Of Common Sense

THE LACK OF COMMON SENSE
Six Bakers. One God. A Recipe the World Said Would Never Work.

What happens when six plus-size women in 1890s America decide to skip the rules, ignore expectations, and build something of their own?

They get called foolish.

They build it anyway.

From different backgrounds but united by faith, courage, and an unbreakable bond, six women travel west to Kansas with one bold plan: buy land, build businesses, and create a life where women don't wait to be chosen—they build, lead, and belong.

No husbands required.
(No good ones available at the moment anyway.)

Together, they form Mustard Seed Row—six storefronts, six homes, and one powerful sisterhood rooted in prayer, purpose, and a whole lot of flour.

But building something this bold doesn't go unnoticed.

Soon they face:
• Skeptics who call them unrealistic
• Investors who want to buy them out
• A town unsure whether to support them or stop them
• And decisions that test their faith, unity, and calling

Through it all, one thing holds:

Their friendship.

Because these women don't compete—they cover each other.
They don't quit—they pray.
And they don't follow "common sense"… they follow God.
