During a rumschpringe visit to
Niagara Falls, Phoebe Miller meets Eli Riehl, a young man who charms
her — and everyone else — with his exceptional storytelling ability. When
Phoebe sketches scenes to illustrate one of his tales, Eli encourages
her incredible talent, and together they embark on a lofty and unlikely
business venture for two young Amish people: writing and illustrating a
children’s book.
Eli’s kindness and appeal extend beyond his knack
for words to reach inside Phoebe’s heart. But he is an only son with
five sisters, and when his father suffers a heart attack, Eli gives up
his writing to assume responsibility on the farm. Though willing to
abandon his dream of becoming an author, he won’t give up his beloved
Phoebe.
Can their love for a good story develop into something
that lasts forever, or will Phoebe’s deep-seated fear of desertion stand
in their way?
