Jessamine Brady possesses an astounding innocence and purity thanks to an upbringing in an isolated cabin in the woods with her storytelling grandmother. Despite losing her mother to the rigors of childbirth and her father to the wanderlust of his author aspirations, it never occurs to Jessamine that she might be missing something. She has feasted on a constant diet of love, fairy tales and delightful freedom. Then her storybook childhood takes an unexpected turn when her beloved granny dies and a kindly pastor takes the orphaned child to live in a world unlike any she could have ever imagined.

By 1849, Jessamine has been in the Shaker Village for half her life, but in spite of how she loves her sisters there, she struggles to conform to their strict rules. Instead she indulges in flights of fancy about life in the world outside the Shaker boundaries. When Tristan Cooper seems to step straight out of one of her fantasies to entice her into the forbidden realm beyond the Shaker Village, her life turns upside down. Will Jessamine be able to survive the storms of the world? Or will she retreat back to the peace of Harmony Hill?
