Katie Beiler was always the follower to her twin sister
Hannah’s lead. That is until Hannah left their Amish
upbringing for an English life—leaving Katie to find her
own footing in a world that no longer looks as it once
did...
Katie has always imagined her life being just like
Mamm’s. It’s why she chose baptism and why she’ll soon
marry Abram Zook. But ever since Hannah left, the only
thing that truly makes Katie smile is the sketchpad in
which she indulges her talent for drawing faces—a sin
that, if discovered, could get her shunned by her family,
her friends, and even Abram. Yet Katie sees her secret
pastime as the only way to quiet a growing restlessness
she’d just as soon ignore. That is until their Mamm’s
untimely death brings Hannah back home to Pennsylvania,
with a new outlook on life, a man she adores, and, soon,
an invitation for Katie to visit her in New York City.
Suddenly, Katie is experiencing a freedom she’s never
had, in a world she never imagined. She’s also spending
time in the company of a fellow dreamer, someone who sees
her as strong and brave and makes her laugh. But it’s
when Hannah shows Katie’s drawings to a gallery owner
that she truly finds herself at a crossroads between the
only life she’s ever known and the powerful lure of an
unfamiliar future.
