Sadie Fisher tries to keep herself busy in her Old Order Amish community, even though the death of her husband four years earlier has left her alone and wondering if she will ever find true love again.  However, she’s been exchanging letters with an Amish man in Texas.  Milo Troyer plans to come to Lancaster Country for a visit soon, and Sadie is sure that he will be a perfect match for her.

            But two years is a long time to be writing letters, and Sadie begins to wonder if Milo is ever going to make the trip.   As doubt and worry consume her thoughts, Sadie’s faith begins to slip in a way that is unfamiliar and unheard of in her community.  For the first time in her life, she questions God’s will for her. 

            When wealthy Englischer Kade Saunders rents her guest cottage for a month, Sadie’s world is turned upside down.  If Kade’s strange ways aren’t enough, he also has a five-year old autistic son who is dropped off in his father’s permanent care following unforeseen events.  Sadie gets to know young Tyler and sees God working through the boy to reach his father.  As her feelings for the child grow, so do her feelings for Kade—a man unsuitable for anything more than friendship.
