PUBLISHER: Bethany House Publishers
A young woman stands between tradition and change as her heart and community are tested.
The people themselves dare to challenge the Old Ways of their heritage… and each patriarch must choose a side.
Nearly one hundred days have passed since the untimely death of Nellie Mae Fisher’s beloved younger sister, Suzy, and Nellie dares again to dream of a future with handsome Caleb Yoder. But rumors about Suzy still circulate among the people—rumors that would keep the young courting couple apart, including from Caleb’s own father. Meanwhile, a growing number of Honeybrook’s Amish farmers are demanding tractors and other forbidden modern conveniences.
When a revival adds to the tension, passions flare and the Old Order community is pushed to the breaking point. Nellie and Caleb find their families—and themselves—in the midst of what threatens to become an impossible divide.
A New York Times Bestseller and USA Today Bestseller.
