As an Amish wife and mother struggles to hold her family
together, a story from the past teaches her how to face her daily challenges
with strength and love . . .
In modern day central Pennsylvania, Judith Wegler tries to heal the growing
rift between her husband, Isaac, and his teenage brother Joseph—whom Judith
and Isaac have raised as their own ever since both brothers lost their parents
and siblings in a horrific fire. Meanwhile, Isaac’s hurtful silence about this
tragic past has robbed Judith of any certainty of her husband’s love.
But when Judith’s grandmother gifts her with an antique study table, she
discovers a hidden packet of letters that changes her life . . .
In 1953, widow Mattie Lapp fights against the county’s attempts to force Amish
children to attend a consolidated public school, even if it means arrest and
imprisonment. Mattie knows she can’t face this challenge alone, and turns to
her late husband’s cousin Adam for help, but she’s terrified at the prospect
of relying on someone else.
Now, as the two women’s stories converge, both must learn to stand up for
their beliefs and to love again, even when it means risking their hearts . . .
