As a budding journalist with a major newspaper, Remy
McCallister is eager to prove herself. While investigating
an unsolved crime, Remy winds up in the tightly woven Amish
community of Lancaster County, the last place she would
ever expect to find herself. The story leads her to Adam
King and his ten younger siblings, who are trying to
sustain their warm, loving home in the wake of the murder
of their parents. Although Remy tries to remain
professional, she is captivated by the Kings. With her own
mother gone and her father disengaged from their
relationship, Remy longs for a home and a family just like
that of these good, simple people.
Suddenly patriarch of his large family, Adam struggles to
do the right thing for his siblings, his community, and his
God. He neither wants nor needs the complications that
spirited Remy brings. But as much as he tries to push her
away, even as he counts all the ways this lovely outsider
cannot possibly remain in his world—or in his heart—the
wondrous light she shines upon his troubled soul cannot be
denied. Adam can only pray for the strength and the faith
to get this Englisher girl out of their lives for good.
Snowbound with the Kings, Remy experiences the wonder and
the chores of a simple winter among the Plain People, as
well as the friendship of their warm community. When her
peaceful interlude ends, does she dare to reveal a killer
in their midst, knowing that she may lose the love of this
special family and this remarkable man?
