Rose is engaged to Silas Good, but a childhood friend, Nick, is frequently on her mind. She hasn't seen or heard from him in quite some time since he left the community, yet she yearns to know that he is doing well. Her sister Hen is home now with her daughter Mattie, struggling with an Englisher husband who disapproves of her Amish background and the desire to raise Mattie as Amish, with strong morals and values. The parents Sol and Emma, are also suffering. Emma has been bed-ridden since her buggy accident several years ago, unable to walk and in a lot of pain. Sol tries to put his faith in God, knowing that He knows what is best for each of them, but it is a struggle when humans don't understand why things turn out the way they do.
Silas' old girlfriend Rebeka arrives to help with a new mother. Will Rose and Silas remain betrothed? Will Hen lose Mattie to her husband who wants a divorce? Is there any hope for Emma? A good second book in the trilogy.
