Pary's unending quest for unusual items has led her into the kitchen with a resolve to master the skill of cooking. Her determination to conquer that challenge takes her to a department store, where she unexpectedly lands a job. There, the perks of an employee discount and a generous layaway plan open her eyes to the unchartered territory of retail shopping, much to John's dismay.

But a store policy regarding purchases and an extra snotty employee aren't Pary's only difficulties as she tails shoplifters and roots out thieves. The new job forces her to make a sacrifice, much to John's delight.

However, she's determined to prevail, so with her usual style and diplomacy, Pary enters the retail arena AND the kitchen. Can she handle both? Can John? What about his stomach? Just how many sacrifices will Pary make?
