In the small Amish town of Sugarcreek, Ohio, Joshua knows what's expected of him: work at the family store and marry Gretta, whom he's courted for years. But when a new English family moves in next door -- and their teenage daughter, Lilly, catches his eye -- Joshua wonders if his future is too firmly set in stone. Gretta is shocked by the change in Joshua, and considers what her life would be like without him. But Lilly, enamored of her handsome neighbor, guards a secret that will surely drive him away. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
