Leisel Bachmann left her Amish roots and beloved sisters to
pursue a career in medicine without a second thought. She
has an Englisch boyfriend, Nick Jordan, and dreams of a new
life--but those dreams come crashing down when her sister
Marie is diagnosed with cancer.
Soon nothing is going as she planned--not her state boards,
not her first nursing job, and certainly not her
relationship with Nick. As she becomes increasingly
discouraged, her aunt shares the story of Leisel's
grandfather during World War II and the struggle he faced
between returning to Lancaster or being with the woman he loved.
Peace and a vision for the future are difficult to find, and
when Nick leaves Pennsylvania for a completely new life,
Leisel is faced with impossible choices. Will she stay in
Lancaster, close to her family and the traditions of her
past? Or learn from her grandfather's story and embrace a
life of love and service in an uncertain future?
