Gregarious Rose Lehman, who's always the life of the Amish
youth singings, is determined to marry the bishop's son,
Reuben Byler--until the handsome Army buddy of her future
brother-in-law shows up in Lancaster County. In comparison
to Trevor, Reuben seems downright boring. Trevor shares
Rose's sense of fun and adventure, and her easygoing
disposition.
When her sister Lila's buggy is rear-ended and Lila is
horribly injured, Rose finds herself with more freedom than
she's ever experienced. Everyone is so concerned about Lila
that no one realizes Rose is sneaking out with Trevor.
Except for Reuben. But in his usual passive way, he doesn't
confront her, nor does he address the situation with her Dat
or anyone else in the district. Rose appreciates Reuben's
discretion, but she also resents it. Part of her relishes
the freedom she's found with Trevor, but the other part of
her wishes Reuben would "fight" for her, as much as any
Amish man would. Too late, she realizes the foolish choice
she's made. Has she ruined her best chance at love, or is
there another path to happiness she just hasn't seen yet?
