Amy King—young, engaged, and Amish—faces difficult
challenges in her life when she suddenly loses both of her parents in a
house fire. Her fiancé, John Detweiler, persuades her and her sister
Nora to leave Lancaster County and make a new beginning with him in
Harmony, Maine, where he has relatives who can help the women in their
time of need.
John’s brother Thomas and sister-in-law Sally
readily open their home to the three newcomers. Wise beyond his years,
Thomas, a minister in the district, refuses to marry Amy and John upon
their arrival, suggesting instead a period of adjustment and counseling.
During this time Amy discovers an aunt who was shunned. She wishes to
reconnect with her, but this puts a strain on her relationship with
John.
