In 1903 Ohio, a young Amish woman must choose between the
life she has long planned for and a new, very different future…
Since Anna Plank moved to Berlin, Ohio, with her
widowed mamm and two schweschders, she’s found
a real sense of belonging. As soon as her beloved Noah
Schwartz proposes, they’ll begin a new chapter here
together. But Noah has a surprise for Anna: once they’re
married, he wants them to travel and live in other
communities. Anna, who loves her home and her job at the
quilt shop, is distraught when he takes her hesitation as
rejection—and leaves.
Daniel Bontrager’s arrival adds to Anna’s confusion. Since
taking over his late brother’s farm, the handsome roofer has
offered friendship and gentle attentions. Yet the pull of
first love is strong and deep, especially when Noah returns.
Through each revelation, Anna must search her faith for
guidance, knowing she is choosing not just a husband, but a
life to nurture and to share…
