For years Marie Bachmann thought of herself as the "good"
daughter. She was the most loving to their mother, the most
dedicated to their Amish way of life. But when a Mennonite
farmhand, Gordon Martin, shows interest in her she can't
help but be flattered--until her mother sends her off to
Florida. While there, Marie begins spending time with
bad-boy Eli Jacob, the bishop's son from back home.
When Gordon shows up in Florida to volunteer in a homeless
shelter, her life becomes even more complicated. At the same
time her aunt begins telling her of a Civil War-era ancestor
and the woman's uncommon bravery . . . a story that begins
to work at Marie's heart.
Marie hopes returning home may simplify life, but Eli soon
follows. As Marie grapples with whether she should court Eli
or leave the church for Gordon, the story of Annie Bachmann
shines a light on what God has for Marie's future.
