Caught between a stifling Amish community and an unnerving
outside world, a devout young woman on the run is about to
become the newest arrival to West Kootenai, Montana. On the
day of her sister's death, Rebecca Troyer took her first
step away from the Amish. Rebecca had always strayed a
little outside the fold---a job at an Englisch bakery, long
weekends with non-Amish friends---but nothing could have
prepared her family for what she is about to do: Rebecca is
abandoning the community to attend nursing school. She is
headed to college, into 'the world.' But she has to make it
across the country first.
When she stops in West Kootenai, at the home of a lapsed
Amish friend from her youth, Rebecca finds a lot more in
Montana than she had bargained for---namely a handsome
working man named Caleb Hooley. Caleb is at a crossroads of
his own. A daredevil bachelor with high standards, he has
decided he'll never find an Amish woman who can quench his
thirst for adventure. Needless to say, the pretty Amish girl
who has fled her community in secret catches his attention
immediately. As hearts are opened and secrets are revealed,
Rebecca and Caleb find they have much more in common than
just their Amish background. But can this runaway find love
with a risk-taker who has lost his faith in God? All it will
take is one week in the wilderness to find out . . .
