Tragedy strikes—a brother and sister find themselves
facing a situation that will shape the rest of their lives.
When a fire destroys the Lundys' barn, Winnie is
injured trying to get the animals to safety. Confined to a
hospital for weeks, out of touch with her loved ones who
live too far away to visit by buggy, she must depend on
Englisher Samuel Miller to keep her company. Though his
family is part of Winnie's tight-knit Amish community,
Samuel left years earlier to pursue a university education.
Through conversations, and Samuel's dedication to her
recovery, a friendship forms. But despite their growing
attraction, Winnie knows it can never develop into something
more as long as Samuel chooses to remain in the outside
world.
When Winnie returns home, she finds her
brother, Jonathan, struggling with his own dilemma.
Cigarette butts were discovered in the debris of the barn
and Jonathan is determined to find out who is responsible
for destroying his property and putting his family at risk.
But in a community founded on grace and forgiveness, will
his unwillingness to move on eat away at the trust that is
the foundation of their lives?
